A polytropic process is a thermodynamic process that describes the relationship between pressure and volume in a gas. It can be expressed using the following equation: \\\[ PV^n = \\text\{constant\} \\\] where: - \\( P \\) is the pressure of the gas, - \\( V \\) is the volume of the gas, - \\( n \\) is the polytropic index (a constant specific to the process).
