An adiabatic process (adiabatic from Ancient Greek ἀδιάβατος (adiábatos) 'impassable') is a type of thermodynamic process that occurs without transferring...

An isentropic process is an idealized thermodynamic process that is both adiabatic and reversible.[excessive citations] The work transfers of the system...

The adiabatic theorem is a concept in quantum mechanics. Its original form, due to Max Born and Vladimir Fock (1928), was stated as follows: A physical...

reversible adiabatic process is an adiabatic process that occurs slowly compared to the time to reach equilibrium. In a reversible adiabatic process, the system...

"becoming less" sense, not its "interruption" sense). In dry air, the adiabatic lapse rate (i.e., decrease in temperature of a parcel of air that rises...

contrast, an adiabatic process is where a system exchanges no heat with its surroundings (Q = 0). Simply, we can say that in an isothermal process T = constant...

physics and thermodynamics, the heat capacity ratio, also known as the adiabatic index, the ratio of specific heats, or Laplace's coefficient, is the ratio...

an adiabatic or a non-adiabatic process. The reference adiabatic work process may be chosen arbitrarily from amongst the class of all such processes. This...

temperature" is also achieved via an adiabatic process, some engineers and others may use[vague] the term "adiabatic wet-bulb temperature" to refer to the...

processes (e.g. adiabatic, then isothermal; vs. isothermal, then adiabatic) connecting the same initial and final states. In an irreversible process,...
