Which of the following thermodynamic processes is characterized by constant entropy throughout the system changes?

A. Isothermal process
B. Isobaric process
C. Adiabatic reversible process✓ Correct Answer
D. Isochoric process

💡 Solution & Explanation

An adiabatic reversible process maintains constant entropy, making it an isentropic thermodynamic process where no heat transfer occurs with the surroundings during expansion or compression. Isothermal processes maintain constant temperature rather than constant entropy, while ischoric processes keep volume fixed. Reversible adiabatic paths form the theoretical backbone of the Carnot cycle efficiency calculations.
