An Isentropic process is an idealised process which is adiabatic and reversible (in thermodynamics). There is no transfer of hea

t or matter and the work transfers of the system are frictionless. Can you explain to me which of the 4 processes in the Carnot cycle are isentropic and why please - so that I can understand it. I have read two articles about it, but dont understand.

Answer:

Explanation:

An isentropic process is one that does not change the entropy of the system. A reversible of the universe, and it is reversible because of that. Real processes increase the entropy of the universe, so trying to reverse them would decrease the entropy of the universe, which is impossible, so they are irreversible.

The Carnot cycle has 4 phases:

-Isotermal expansion of gas. In this process it takes heat from a hot source. It is a reversible process, but not isentropic.

-Adiabatic expansion. This one is isentropic, the entropy of the gas remains constant and it doesn't interact with the surroundings. The gas expands not by its own, but the machine makes it expand (it pulls on the gas). The gas cools down.

-Isotermal compression. Reversible but not adiabatic. The gas exchanges heat with the cold source, reducing its volume.

-Adiabatic compression. Adiabatic and isentropic. The machine compresses the gas, causing it to heat up.

The big bang theory describes and claims that the universe has been created through cosmic expansion originating from a single point.

Where it was explained that the nature of now objects in space being in constant space was due to once a high density and high density point produce a scattering or explosion of the cosmic energy . Other theories have also supported this theory originally and first documented by Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître an astronomer and physicist.

What is the function of eye lens of the human eye<br>​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Lens of the human Eye is a important and one of that most complex sense organ.

Explanation:

Lens of the human eye it helps that in visualizing light and color perception and objects , glance on the human eye structure and function.

Sense organs are much pretty similar to the camera they  help us see the objects clear.

A human eye is the 2.3 cm in diameter and all filled some fluid, and there are following parts in eye:-  cornea,  Retina , Lens ,Pupil , optic nerves.

cornea :- the cornea is the first transparent part of is called cornea, enters the light through the cornea.

Retina :-it is light sensitive layer that consists of nerve cells,then transmitted to the brain through nerves.

Lens:- behind the pupil there is a transparent structure called lens,it shape focus light on the retina.

Pupil:-it control the value of light that enters the human eye.

Optic nerves is are the two types :- (1) cones (2) Rods .

Which solution will have more gas dissolved in it, A solution under high-pressure or one under low pressure?
gayaneshka [121]
High pressure, because the more pressure, the less volume, so the atoms have to get closer together.
