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

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 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.

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

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

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 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 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 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 ).

This is interesting for it combines both the thermodynamic concept of a minimum Gibbs function for equilibrium and minimum mechanical potential energy for equilibrium.

It is appropriate to call attention to certain thermodynamic properties of an ideal gas that are analogous to rubber-like deformation.

The zero point of any thermodynamic temperature scale, such as Kelvin or Rankine, is set at absolute zero.

Absolute, or thermodynamic, temperature is conventionally measured in kelvins ( Celsius-scaled increments ) and in the Rankine scale ( Fahrenheit-scaled increments ) with increasing rarity.

Certain systems can achieve truly negative temperatures ; that is, their thermodynamic temperature ( expressed in kelvin ) can be of a negative quantity.

A transformation of a thermodynamic system can be considered adiabatic when it is quick enough that no significant heat is transferred between the system and the outside.

At the opposite extreme, a transformation of a thermodynamic system can be considered isothermal if it is slow enough so that the system's temperature remains constant by heat exchange with the outside.

The Boltzmann distribution is often expressed in terms of β = 1 / kT where β is referred to as thermodynamic beta.

It does not change the energy difference between starting materials and products ( thermodynamic barrier ), or the available energy ( this is provided by the environment as heat or light ).

A thermodynamic cycle occurs when a system is taken through a series of different states, and finally returned to its initial state.

The associated free energy of the reaction is composed of two different thermodynamic quantities, enthalpy and entropy:

According to Gislason and Craig ( 2005 ): " Most thermodynamic data come from calorimetry ..." According to Kondepudi ( 2008 ): " Calorimetry is widely used in present day laboratories.

Provided that the temperature is measured in the thermodynamic absolute scale, the relation is expressed in the formula

The Diesel cycle is the thermodynamic cycle which approximates the pressure and volume of the combustion chamber of the Diesel engine, invented by Rudolph Diesel in 1897.

Allred updated Pauling's original values in 1961 to take account of the greater availability of thermodynamic data, and it is these " revised Pauling " values of the electronegativity which are most often used.

Entropy is a thermodynamic property that is the measure of a system ’ s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.

This is the basis of the modern microscopic interpretation of entropy in statistical mechanics, where entropy is defined as the amount of additional information needed to specify the exact physical state of a system, given its thermodynamic specification.

More specifically, an equation of state is a thermodynamic equation describing the state of matter under a given set of physical conditions.

In the strictest technical sense, the word " stability " is a thermodynamic term referring to the energy of a substance relative to a reference state or to some other substance.
