Thermodynamic processes

Abstract

A thermodynamic process refers to a system experiencing changes in any of its variables or ligatures that allow the external environment to interact with the system by exchanging energy and / or matter until it has a balance with each other so that the system changes from an initial condition to a final one. Changes must occur infinitesimally to have a succession of equilibrium states. Called quasi-static changes. Thermodynamic systems by experiencing a series of intermediate states form a graphical curve that defines the trajectory of the process that can be compression or expansion.
