Q. A cycle tyre bursts suddenly. What is the type of this process

KCETKCET 2014Thermodynamics

Solution:

In a tyre burst there is too little time for the temperature to be equalized with the surroundings the work done due to the sudden expansion causes the air surrounding the tyre to get cooler. It is adiabatic, because no heat transfer occurs here most of the processes that take very little time is adiabatic.
