Adiabatic heating also occurs in the Earth's atmosphere when an air mass descends, for example, in a katabatic wind or Foehn or chinook wind flowing downhill over a mountain range.

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

# Adiabatic compression of the gas.

# Adiabatic expansion of the gas.

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 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.

Irreversible Adiabatic Process | adiabatic process: If the cylinder is a perfect insulator, the initial top-left state cannot be reached anymore after it is changed to the one on the top-right.

Adiabatic process: Gradually changing conditions allow the system to adapt its configuration, hence the probability density is modified by the process.

An atomic coherence is essential in research on several effects, such as electromagnetically induced transparency ( EIT ), lasing without inversion ( LWI ), enhanced dispersion without absorption, Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage ( STIRAP ) and nonlinear optical interaction with enhanced efficiency.

Adiabatic shear band is a term used in physics, mechanics and engineering.

" Adiabatic " is a thermodynamic term meaning an absence of heat transfer – the heat produced is retained in the zone where it is created.

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.

Adiabatic expansion causes the aerosol contents to cool rapidly on exiting the can.

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.

Whereas most small molecule solutions exhibit only an upper critical solution temperature phase transition, at which phase separation occurs with cooling, polymer mixtures commonly exhibit a lower critical solution temperature phase transition, at which phase separation occurs with heating.

The heating caused by the induced current is called ohmic ( or resistive ) heating ; it is the same kind of heating that occurs in an electric light bulb or in an electric heater.

Gravitation is responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun ; for keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth ; for the formation of tides ; for natural convection, by which fluid flow occurs under the influence of a density gradient and gravity ; for heating the interiors of forming stars and planets to very high temperatures ; and for various other phenomena observed on Earth.

Forced convection also occurs as a by-product to other processes, such as the action of a propeller in a fluid or aerodynamic heating.

Nevertheless, the primary heating effect of all types of electromagnetic fields at both radio and microwave frequencies occurs via the dielectric heating effect, as polarized molecules are affected by a rapidly alternating electric field.

Recrystallization occurs due to heating of the protolith.

The relatively high incidence of CO poisoning during ice storms occurs due to the use of alternative methods of heating and cooking during prolonged power outages, common during severe ice storms.

Charcoal is obtained by heating wood until its complete pyrolysis ( carbonization ) occurs, leaving only carbon and inorganic ash.

Substantial variation in the average rate occurs as a result of the 11-year solar activity cycle, averaging closer to three objects per day at solar max due to the heating, and resultant expansion, of the Earth's atmosphere.

The structurally related compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline has a similar smell, and occurs also naturally without heating and gives varieties of cooked rice and the spice pandan ( Pandanus amaryllifolius ) their typical smells.

* Critical heat flux, the thermal limit of a phenomenon where a phase change occurs during heating

It has also been suggested that some form of heating in the lithosphere below the area may be making deep rocks more plastic, which concentrates compressive stress in the shallower subsurface area where the faulting occurs.

This occurs by heating the alloy so that the dislocations re-order into stable positions, but not so hot that the material recrystallizes.

It has also been suggested that some form of heating in the lithosphere below the area may be making deep rocks more plastic, which concentrates compressive stress in the shallower subsurface area where the faulting occurs.

Central heating differs from local heating in that the heat generation occurs in one place, such as a furnace room in a house or a mechanical room in a large building ( though not necessarily at the " central " geometric point ).

Poisonous additives can also get into the breathing mix if any material inside the blending valves or pipes burns, for instance when adiabatic heating occurs when decanting or boosting oxygen.

Strong surface heating occurs by day and rapid cooling by night, and usually even the hottest days have cool nights.

The wheel rests on an area of rail about two centimeters long, so the heating effect is very localized and occurs very quickly.
