Adiabatic process: An adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process

An adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process , in which there is no heat transfer into or out of the system (Q = 0). The system can be considered to be perfectly insulated. Thermal Engineering An adiabatic process ( adiabatic from Ancient Greek ἀδιάβατος (adiábatos) 'impassable') is a type of thermodynamic process that occurs without transferring heat between the thermodynamic system and its environment. An adiabatic process is a fundamental concept in thermodynamics, playing a vital role in various physical phenomena and practical applications. This process occurs when a system exchanges no heat with its surroundings, thus changing its internal energy solely through work done on or by the system. Learn what an adiabatic process is, how it relates to heat, work, and enthalpy, and how to calculate the adiabatic index and work done. See examples of adiabatic expansion and compression of gases and solve problems with equations.
