Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
48.
It is desired to bring about a certain change in the state of a system by performing work on the system under adiabatic conditions.
The amount of work needed is path dependent.
Work alone can not bring out such a change of state.
The amount of work needed is independent of path.
More information is needed to conclude anything about the path dependence or otherwise of the work needed.

@Arun.

When process will be reversible then it will be true but here nature of process is not mentioned.

At adiabatic condition.

Heat = 0,
Internal energy = work done.

So work done is independent of path.
