If ideal compression of air is possible, then why not a free expansion of an ideal gas in not applicable?

Thermodynamic laws are only valid for reversible processes and free expansion is irreversible process so it is not valid for it.

@Vishal.

The thermodynamic first law applies even to irreversible systems.

Amal said:   6 years ago
For free expansion no work is required.

For free/joule expansion W=Q=0 can't be plotted on P-V dia.
