isobaric process [¦i·sə¦bär·ik ′prä·səs] (thermodynamics) A thermodynamic process of a gas in which the heat transfer to or from the gaseous system causes a volume change at constant pressure. Isobaric process A thermodynamic process during which the pressure remains constant. When heat is transferred to or from a gaseous system, a volume change occurs at constant pressure. This thermodynamic process can be illustrated by the expansion of a substance when it is heated. The system is then capable of doing an amount of work on its surroundings. The maximum work is done when the external pressure of the surroundings on the system is equal to the pressure of the system.
