| Mar 7, 2016 at 22:06 | comment | added | march | Part of the problem here, I think, is that the ideal gas is pathological to begin with. The molecules in the gas don't interact, so there's no way for an out-of-equilibrium ideal gas to evolve to equilibrium by redistributing energy. For a real gas where the molecules interact (even weakly), the temperature is not constant; the potential energy associated with the intermolecular forces necessarily changes due to the particles being on average farther apart. It might be worth looking up the Joule-Thomson effect on Wikipedia. | |
