| May 31, 2018 at 13:43 | comment | added | Chet Miller | Or by assuming that the gas is in a cubical container is being cooled through its bottom surface (even in a non-zer0 g environment)? | |
| May 31, 2018 at 12:45 | comment | added | Chet Miller | OK. Then are you willing to neglect natural convection flow within the gas by assuming that the heat transfer to the gas takes place in a zero g environment? | |
| May 31, 2018 at 12:37 | comment | added | UVCatastrophe | @ChesterMiller Since I'm studying thermodynamics in context of gases and their behavior, an alternate describing a rigid solid might not solve the purpose of my question and might just confuse me further. | |
| May 31, 2018 at 11:25 | comment | added | Chet Miller | Are you familiar with the transient heat conduction equation.? Would you be willing to accept a surrogate for your problem one in which a rigid solid is placed in contact with an ideal constant temperature bath and the solid is allowed to equilibrate thermally with the bath? | |
| May 31, 2018 at 10:03 | comment | added | jacob1729 | @Steeven from the point of view of thermodynamics alone they can't. Those intermediate states are not equilibrium states (won't satisfy the equation of state etc) and so can't be dealt with. Of course they still exist as states in a mechanical sense. | |
| May 31, 2018 at 9:29 | comment | added | Steeven | Can intermediate states not be defined when pressure/volume is changed suddenly? | |
