On the other hand, when a gaseous element has a minimal level of intermolecular attractive forces between their molecules and atoms, then it can be termed as real gas. In the case of an ideal gas, it cannot exist and thrive naturally in the ecosystem. But, real gases can ideally act in both high-temperature conditions as well as in low-pressure situations. An isothermal process is defined by the change in a particular system where the temperature will remain constant. When the vacuum gets expanded, it leads to the free expansion of a gas.
In the case of an ideal gas, the rate of free expansion is NIL, that is, the work done is 0. We can do this in a quasi-equilibrium manner, with , as in Figure 4. If so the work that we need to do is. We have evaluated the work in a reversible isothermal expansion Eq. Next: 4. Active Oldest Votes. Hope this helps. Improve this answer.
Bob D Bob D Isothermal means the gas temperature is constant during a process, not just that the initial and final equilibrium temperatures are the same. The term "isothermal free expansion" makes no sense, at least to me. See : web. Show 8 more comments. Chet Miller Chet Miller Does internal energy change in case of real gas or not?

We find that we must introduce a new parameter—the Joule-Thomson coefficient—in order to describe the behavior of a real gas in a free expansion. The Joule-Thomson coefficient varies with pressure and temperature. Literally, an isothermal process is one in which the temperature of the system remains the same throughout the process.
However, we often use the term to mean merely that the process occurs while the system is in thermal contact with constant-temperature surroundings.
