1. Adiabatic process

   In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process (Greek: adiábatos, "impassable") is a type of thermodynamic process that occurs without transferring heat or mass between the thermodynamic system and its environment. Unlike an isothermal process, an adiabatic process transfers energy to the surroundings only as work. As a key concept in thermodynamics, the adiabatic process supports the theory that explains the first law of thermodynamics. Some chemical and physical processes occur too rapidly for energy to enter or leave the system as heat, allowing a convenient "adiabatic approximation". For example, the adiabatic flame temperature uses this approximation to calculate the upper limit of flame temperature by assuming combustion loses no heat to its surroundings. In meteorology and oceanography, adiabatic cooling produces condensation of moisture or salinity, oversaturating the parcel. Therefore, the excess must be removed. There, the process becomes a pseudo-adiabatic process whereby the liquid water or salt that condenses is assumed to be removed upon formation by idealized instantaneous precipitation. The pseudoadiabatic process is only defined for expansion because a compressed parcel becomes warmer and remains undersaturated.

1. adiabatic process

   An adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process in which no heat is exchanged between the system and its surroundings. In this process, any change in the system's energy comes only from work done on the system or by the system. It often results in the temperature change of the system. This term primarily applies to the fields of physics and engineering, especially thermodynamics.

1. Adiabatic process

   An adiabatic process is a process occurring without exchange of heat of a system with its environment. It is the opposite of a diabatic process, in which heat exchange occurs. A key concept in thermodynamics, many rapid chemical and physical processes are described using the adiabatic approximation. Such processes are usually followed or preceded by events that do involve heat transfer, such as electron-transfer. Adiabatic processes can occur if the container of the system has thermally insulated walls or the process happens in an extremely short time, so that there is no opportunity for significant heat exchange. Although the terms adiabatic and isocaloric can often be interchanged, adiabatic processes may be considered a subset of isocaloric processes; the remaining complement subset of isocaloric processes being processes during which net heat transfer does not diverge locally such as in an idealized case with mediums of infinite thermal conductivity or non-existent thermal capacity. For example, an adiabatic boundary is a boundary that is impermeable to heat and the system is said to be diabatically, or thermally, insulated. An insulated wall approximates an adiabatic boundary. The adiabatic flame temperature is the temperature that would be achieved by a flame in the absence of heat loss to the surroundings.
