Adiabatic process

[Angela Patel 2J]

For an adiabatic process, would the only change in temperature of the system be due to the amount of work done? Would the temperature change for an adiabatic process be less than the temperature change for a irreversible expansion? For example question 4.6 in the textbook, where it gives you a pressure and a volume change and asks what the temp. difference would be for a reversible vs irreversible adiabatic expansion.

Since an adiabatic process has no transfer of heat q = 0 therefore the only energy would be as work. For a reversible expansion the temperature stays constant so I think the temperature would be greater for an irreversible expansion compared to a reversible expansion.

i think the only key takeaway from an adiabatic system is that q = 0.

I think irreversible would be at a higher temp since for reversible the temp is constant.
