Conversely, an adiabatic process that is irreversible and extracts no work is in an isenthalpic process, such as viscous drag, progressing towards a nonnegative change in entropy.

It does not point out that Joule's experimental arrangement performed essentially irreversible work, through friction of paddles in a liquid, or passage of electric current through a resistance inside the system, driven by motion of a coil and inductive heating, or by an external current source, which can access the system only by the passage of electrons, and so is not strictly adiabatic, because electrons are a form of matter, which cannot penetrate adiabatic walls.

Thus an irreversible isentropic process is not adiabatic.

At temperatures near 0 K, nearly all molecular motion ceases and, when entropy = S, ΔS = 0 for any adiabatic process.

Consequently no adiabatic process initiated at nonzero temperature can lead to zero temperature.

An adiabatic process is any process occurring without input or output of heat within a system ( i. e. during the process the system is thermodynamically isolated-there is no heat transfer with the surroundings ).

An adiabatic process that is reversible is also called an isentropic process.

Since temperature is thermodynamically conjugate to entropy, the isothermal process is conjugate to the adiabatic process for reversible transformations.

No process is truly adiabatic.

For a simple substance, during an adiabatic process in which the volume increases, the internal energy of the working substance must decrease

The mathematical equation for an ideal gas undergoing a reversible ( i. e., no entropy generation ) adiabatic process is

The definition of an adiabatic process is that heat transfer to the system is zero,.

However, P does not remain constant during an adiabatic process but

dV relate to each other as the adiabatic process proceeds.

Since we require the process to be adiabatic, the following equation needs to be true

In an adiabatic system ( e. g. a system that does not give off heat to the surroundings ), an exothermic process results in an increase in temperature.

An adiabatic ( no heat exchange ) process occurs when no heat exchange occurs.

As the air parcel expands, it pushes on the air around it, doing work ; but generally it does not gain heat in exchange from its environment, because its thermal conductivity is low ( such a process is called adiabatic ).

The main mechanism behind this process is adiabatic cooling.

Dissolution of the cloud can occur when the process of adiabatic cooling ceases after the passage of a weather disturbance or following the loss of daytime heating of the lower troposphere.

This process occurs most strongly in the summer, and takes the place of frontal, cyclonic, and convective lift which cause most adiabatic cooling in the lower atmosphere.

H = externally applied magnetic field ; Q = heat quantity ; P = pressure ; ΔT < sub > ad </ sub > = adiabatic temperature variation

Closing the system requires an equation of state ; the most commonly used is the ideal gas law ( i. e. p = ρ ( γ − 1 ) e, where ρ is the density, γ is the adiabatic index, and e the internal energy ).

In contrast, an adiabatic process is where a system exchanges no heat with its surroundings ( Q = 0 ).

When the temperature profile is adiabatic, the wind speed should vary logarithmically with height, Measurements over open terrain in 1961 showed good agreement with the logarithmic fit up to 100 m or so, with near constant average wind speed up through 1000 m .< ref name = Thuillier >

When the temperature profile is adiabatic, the wind speed should vary logarithmically with height, Measurements over open terrain in 1961 showed good agreement with the logarithmic fit up to 100 m or so ( within the surface layer ), with near constant average wind speed up through 1000 m .< ref name = Thuillier >

To do that we assume that the medium is an ideal gas and all acoustic waves compress the medium in an adiabatic and reversible manner.

Absolute zero cannot be achieved, although it is possible to reach temperatures close to it through the use of cryocoolers, dilution refrigerators, and nuclear adiabatic demagnetization.

For example, an adiabatic boundary is a boundary that is impermeable to heat transfer and the system is said to be adiabatically ( or thermally ) insulated ; an insulated wall approximates an adiabatic boundary.

Another example is the adiabatic flame temperature, which is the temperature that would be achieved by a flame in the absence of heat loss to the surroundings.

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.

The environmental lapse rate ( the actual rate at which temperature drops with height, ) is not usually equal to the adiabatic lapse rate ( or correspondingly, ).

It can be shown that once is large enough ( i. e. a sufficient number of electronic states is considered ) this matrix is diagonal with the diagonal elements equal to where are the Berry phases associated with the loop for the adiabatic electronic state.

Finally, the initial conditions are adiabatic or isentropic, which means that the fractional perturbation in the entropy of each species of particle is equal.

Whichever is used, heating must be supplied, as the adiabatic expansion of the CO < sub > 2 </ sub > results in significant cooling.

Although the terms adiabatic and isocaloric can often be interchanged, adiabatic processes may be considered a subset of isocaloric processes ; the remaining complement subset of isocaloric processes being processes where net heat transfer does not diverge regionally such as in an idealized case with mediums of infinite thermal conductivity or non-existent thermal capacity.

One technique used to reach very low temperatures ( thousandths and even millionths of a degree above absolute zero ) is adiabatic demagnetisation, where the change in magnetic field on a magnetic material is used to provide adiabatic cooling.

where is the density, is the adiabatic index ( ratio of specific heats ), is the internal energy per unit mass ( the " specific internal energy "), is the specific heat at constant volume, and is the specific heat at constant pressure.

where the derivative is taken with respect to adiabatic change.

In the atmosphere, where vertical variation in pressure is much larger than in a room, the situation is complicated by adiabatic temperature change: as a parcel of air moves upward, the ambient pressure drops, causing the parcel to expand.

where is the adiabatic electronic wave function, depending on the nuclear parameters.

where is the number of conical intersections involving the adiabatic state encircled by the loop.

A similar class of winds, the Sirocco, the Bora and Santa Ana winds, are examples where orographic lifting has limited effect since there is limited moisture to remove in the Saharan or other air masses ; the Sirocco, Bora and Santa Ana are driven primarily by ( adiabatic ) compression heating.

* f-mode or surface gravity waves are also gravity waves, but occur at or near the photosphere, where the temperature gradient again drops below the adiabatic lapse rate.

For the typical case where an effort is made to cool the gas compressed by an approximately adiabatic process, the value of n will be between 1 and k.

A notable example of a process that is not even quasistatic is the slow heat exchange between two bodies at two finitely different temperatures, where the heat exchange rate is controlled by an approximately adiabatic partition between the two bodies ( Sears and Salinger, 1986 ) — in this case, no matter how slowly the process takes place, the states of the two bodies are never infinitesimally close to equilibrium, since thermal equilibrium requires that the two bodies be at precisely the same temperature.

The degree to which a given change approximates an adiabatic process depends on both the energy separation between and adjacent states, and the ratio of the interval to the characteristic time-scale of the evolution of for a time-independent Hamiltonian,, where is the energy of.

where is the adiabatic index, the ratio of specific heats in the gas.

In mechanics, an adiabatic change is a slow deformation of the Hamiltonian, where the fractional rate of change of the energy is much slower than the orbital frequency.

Two known cases are isobaric change, where pressure is held constant, and adiabatic change, where no work is done and no change in entropy occurs.
