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

CONCEPT:

• Isothermal: The thermodynamic process in a system, during which the temperature remains constant is called isothermal process. 

ΔT = 0

• Isochoric: The thermodynamic process in a system, during which the Volume remains constant is called the isochoric process. 

ΔV = 0

• Isobaric: The thermodynamic process in a system, during which the pressure remains constant is called the Isobaric process. 

ΔP = 0

• Adiabatic: The thermodynamic process in a system, during which no heat or mass transfer occurs between thermodynamic systems is called an adiabatic process. 

ΔQ =0

• Most rapid processes are adiabatic.

EXPLANATION:

• Any process is adiabatic is rapid such that there should not be any heat transfer between the system and its surroundings.
• When a cycle tyre bursts suddenly, this process takes place instantly.
• This leads to a decrease in temperature inside. So, the higher temperature air outside the tyre will transfer heat into it.
• This heat transfer doesn't take place instantly, unlike the expansion of tyre, which is instantaneous.
• Heat transfer takes place after the bursting, due to which one can consider that there is almost no energy exchange during the actual process.
• So we can say that the process of sudden cycle tyre bursting is adiabatic. Hence the correct answer is option 2.
