Adiabatic heating occurs when the pressure of a gas is increased from work done on it by its surroundings, e. g. a piston.

* Adiabatic compression heating in the trough of each wave oscillation may also evaporate cumulus or stratus clouds in the airmass, creating a " wave window " or " Foehn gap ".

Adiabatic cooling occurs when the pressure of a substance is decreased as it does work on its surroundings.

Adiabatic cooling occurs in the Earth's atmosphere with orographic lifting and lee waves, and this can form pileus or lenticular clouds if the air is cooled below the dew point.

* Adiabatic storage retains the heat produced by compression and returns it to the air when the air is expanded to generate power.

Adiabatic compression or expansion more closely model real life when a compressor has good insulation, a large gas volume, or a short time scale ( i. e., a high power level ).

Adiabatic warming of downward moving air produces the warm Chinook wind

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.

Adiabatic fluctuations are density variations in all forms of matter and energy which have equal fractional over / under densities.

Adiabatic changes in temperature occur due to changes in pressure of a gas while not adding or subtracting any heat.

Adiabatic cooling does not have to involve a fluid.

Lockheed Martin and the University of Southern California ( USC ) reached an agreement to house the D-Wave One Adiabatic Quantum Computer at the newly formed USC Lockheed Martin Quantum Computing Center, part of USC's Information Sciences Institute campus in Marina del Rey.

* Adiabatic magnetization: A magnetocaloric substance is placed in an insulated environment.

* Adiabatic demagnetization: The substance is returned to another adiabatic ( insulated ) condition so the total entropy remains constant.

Reversible Adiabatic Process | adiabatic process: The state on the left can be reached from the state on the right as well as vice versa without exchanging heat with the environment.

While Grothendieck was at the IHÉS, opposition to the Vietnam War was heating up, and Cartier suggests that this also reinforced Grothendieck's distaste at having become a mandarin of the scientific world.

In North America, the term " Btu " is used to describe the heat value ( energy content ) of fuels, and also to describe the power of heating and cooling systems, such as furnaces, stoves, barbecue grills, and air conditioners.

Electric bains-marie can also be wet, using either hot water or vapor, or steam, in the heating process.

The adiabatic combustion temperature ( also known as the adiabatic flame temperature ) increases for higher heating values and inlet air and fuel temperatures and for stoichiometric air ratios approaching one.

The abundance of elements in Earth's crust differs from those in the universe ( and also the Sun and heavy planets like Jupiter ) mainly in selective loss of the very lightest elements ( hydrogen and helium ) and also volatile neon, carbon, nitrogen and sulfur, as a result of solar heating in the early formation of the solar system.

It has been inferred that as the white dwarf's mass approaches the Chandrasekhar limit, its central density increases, and, as a result of compressional heating, its temperature also increases.

They typically use direct injection running on cheap low-grade heavy fuel, also known as Bunker C fuel, which requires heating in the ship for tanking and before injection due to the fuel's high viscosity.

For lower frequencies of EMR up to those of visible light ( i. e., radio, microwave, infrared ), the damage done to cells and also to many ordinary materials under such conditions is determined mainly by heating effects, and thus by the radiation power.

This caveat also applies to the ultraviolet ( UV ) spectrum, even though almost all of it is not ionizing, because UV can damage molecules due to electronic excitation which is far greater per unit energy than heating effects produce.

Thus, at UV frequencies and higher ( and probably somewhat also in the visible range ), electromagnetic radiation does far more damage to biological systems than simple heating predicts.

In thermodynamics, the term exothermic (" outside heating ") describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system, usually in the form of heat, but also in the form of light ( e. g. a spark, flame, or explosion ), electricity ( e. g. a battery ), or sound ( e. g. burning hydrogen ).

It may also involve mixing, heating or cooling, pressure cooking, fermentation, or combination with other food.

Many chemical pickling processes also involve heating or boiling so that the food being preserved becomes saturated with the pickling agent.

The word " oil " is also used for any substance that does not mix with water and has a greasy feel, such as petroleum ( or crude oil ), heating oil, and essential oils, regardless of its chemical structure.

It is also more workable in the factory, but cannot stand heating very well.

This comprised not only the formula of its composition, but also the specialized dromons, the device used to prepare the substance by heating and pressurizing it, the siphon projecting it, and the special training of the siphōnarioi who used it.

It is also good for heating up Heinz's hot snack line, Snap Pots, for which it was created.

Additional ionization can also occur from direct heating / ionization as a result of huge motions of charge in lightning strikes.

As such it is also used on non-food items, such as medical devices, plastics, tubes for gas pipelines, hoses for floor heating, shrink-foils for food packaging, automobile parts, wires and cables ( isolation ), tires, and even gemstones.

Kerosene is also used extensively for home heating in portable heaters, especially farther north.

Kerosene was also produced during the same period from oil shale and bitumen by heating the rock to extract the oil, which was then distilled.

MIT has also taken steps to reduce its environmental impact by running alternative fuel campus shuttles, subsidizing public transportation passes, and building a low-emission cogeneration plant that serves most of the campus electricity, heating, and cooling requirements.

The annealing process softens the metal by heating it and then allowing it to cool very slowly, which gets rid of stresses in the metal and makes the grain structure large and soft-edged so that when the metal is hit or stressed it dents or perhaps bends, rather than breaking ; it is also easier to sand, grind, or cut annealed metal.
