A polytropic process is a thermodynamic process that obeys the relation: p V n = C {\displaystyle pV^{n}=C} where p is the pressure, V is volume, n is the polytropic index, and C is a constant. The polytropic process equation describes expansion and compression processes which include heat transfer.
