  1. isothermal

    In thermodynamics, an isothermal process is a type of thermodynamic process in which the temperature T of a system remains constant: ΔT = 0. This typically occurs when a system is in contact with an outside thermal reservoir, and a change in the system occurs slowly enough to allow the system to be continuously adjusted to the temperature of the reservoir through heat exchange (see quasi-equilibrium). In 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 {\displaystyle T={\text{constant}}} Δ T = 0 {\displaystyle \Delta T=0} d T = 0 {\displaystyle dT=0} For ideal gases only, internal energy Δ U = 0 {\displaystyle \Delta U=0} while in adiabatic processes:
