noun a curve representing the changes in pressure and volume of a system undergoing adiabatic process
adjective relating to or denoting a process or condition in which heat does not enter or leave the system
In meteorology, adiabatic processes are important in understanding atmospheric dynamics, such as adiabatic cooling and adiabatic heating.
In engineering, adiabatic processes are considered in the design of systems where heat transfer is minimized or negligible.
In chemistry, adiabatic processes are relevant in studying reactions that occur without the exchange of heat with the surroundings.
In physics, adiabatic processes are used to describe changes in a system without the exchange of heat with the surroundings.
In thermodynamics, an adiabat refers to a curve representing the changes in pressure, volume, and temperature of a system that is isolated from external heat transfer.
In meteorology, adiabat refers to the rate at which temperature changes in a rising or descending air parcel without exchanging heat with its surroundings.
In engineering, adiabatic processes are used to describe systems where there is no heat transfer into or out of the system.
In physics, adiabatic processes are used to describe systems where there is no exchange of heat between the system and its surroundings.
In chemistry, adiabatic reactions are those that occur without any heat exchange with the surroundings.
In geology, adiabatic processes are used to describe changes in temperature and pressure within the Earth's interior without heat transfer across the boundaries.
