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 ).

This is the opposite of a diabatic process, where there is heat transfer.

One opposite extreme — allowing heat transfer with the surroundings, causing the temperature to remain constant — is known as an isothermal process.

Since this process does not involve any heat transfer or work, the First Law of Thermodynamics then implies that the net internal energy change of the system is zero.

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

A dye-sublimation printer ( or dye-sub printer ) is a printer which employs a printing process that uses heat to transfer dye to a medium such as a plastic card, paper or canvas.

The system may be worked upon by an external force, and in the process, it can transfer thermal energy from a cooler system to a warmer one, thereby acting as a refrigerator or heat pump rather than a heat engine.

It accounts for the occurrence of energy transfer by work in a process in which heat is also transferred ; the quantity, however, was considered before the relation between heat and work transfers was clarified by the invention of thermodynamics.

In order to maximize the efficiency of the heat transfer process, the base of the upper vessel is constructed of a thinner, lower-gauge metal than the lower pot.

Dolly ( 5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003 ) was a female domestic sheep, and the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer.

The reprogramming process cells need to go through during cloning is not perfect and embryos produced by nuclear transfer often show abnormal development.

The filter response can also be completely characterized in the frequency domain by its transfer function, which is the Fourier transform of the impulse response h. Typical filter design goals are to realize a particular frequency response, that is, the magnitude of the transfer function ; the importance of the phase of the transfer function varies according to the application, inasmuch as the shape of a waveform can be distorted to a greater or lesser extent in the process of achieving a desired ( amplitude ) response in the frequency domain.

Mountbatten set a date for the transfer of power from the British to the Indians, arguing that a fixed timeline would convince Indians of his and the British government's sincerity in working towards a swift and efficient independence, excluding all possibilities of stalling the process.

Subsequently, networks facilitating the process of money transfer and payment settlement between the consumer and the merchant grew from a small number of nationwide systems to the majority of payment processing transactions.

Molecules that are excited through light absorption or via a different process ( e. g. as the product of a reaction ) can transfer energy to a second ' sensitized ' molecule, which is converted to its excited state and can then fluoresce.

Shortly thereafter, Robert W. Holley determined the structure of transfer RNA ( tRNA ), the adapter molecule that facilitates the process of translating RNA into protein.

In general, the efficiency of a given heat transfer process ( whether it be a refrigerator, a heat pump or an engine ) is defined informally by the ratio of " what you get out " to " what you put in.

This created the necessity for the transfer of allegiance and practice from the old gods and heroes to the new religion, and for the gradual adaptation of the old system of image making and veneration to a Christian context, in the process of Christianization.

Watt started to develop the process in 1779, and made many experiments to formulate the ink, select the thin paper, to devise a method for wetting the special thin paper, and to make a press suitable for applying the correct pressure to effect the transfer.

For example CP / M machines used many different floppy disk formats, which meant that one machine could not normally read disks from another CP / M machine, and Kermit was used as part of a process to enable the transfer of applications and data between CP / M machines and other machines with different operating systems.

It was evident that a second transfer had to be effected, and that it had to take place between the time the fille finished the doctor's room and the time she began Alex's.

To reduce heat transfer from the hot gas to this anode holder outside the regime of the arc, a carbon shield was attached to the surface providing an air gap of 1/16 inch between the plate and the surface of the anode holder.

The mass scale used in Table 5-1 was derived on the assumption that the motion of the glowing trail is related to the momentum transfer to the trail by the meteorite, permitting the calculation of the mass if the velocity is known ( Cook and Whipple, 1958 ).

In substance, said the Court, there was no transfer of equitable title.

Their study showed that it was possible to transfer 3 to 4 lb of oxygen / hr. / hp.

One of the important aspects of this study was to determine the oxygen transfer relationships of the mechanical aerator.

The maximum rate of oxygen transfer at 1.0 mg/l dissolved oxygen was calculated as 220 lb/day at a maximum rate of 9.3 Aj.

A third concept was proposed in 1923 by Gilbert N. Lewis which includes reactions with acid-base characteristics that do not involve a proton transfer.

One reason for the transfer was to be closer to his coach, Grandmaster Semyon Furman, who lived in Leningrad.

The transfer of the property of the 4th Army ( except for part of the property of the 366th Motor Rifle Regiment of the 23rd Motor Rifle Division captured by Armenian armed formations in 1992 during the regiment's withdrawal from Stepanakert ) and the 49th arsenal was completed in 1992.

The justification for attributing life to objects was stated by David Hume in his Natural History of Religion ( Section III ): " There is a universal tendency among mankind to conceive all beings like themselves, and to transfer to every object those qualities with which they are familiarly acquainted, and of which they are intimately conscious.

Following Andrew's victory, the king was obliged to transfer the government of the Duchies of Croatia and Dalmatia to Andrew.

The 68000 has a 16-bit external data bus so must transfer 32 bits of data in two consecutive steps, a technique called multiplexing: all this is transparent to the software, which was 32-bit from the beginning.

The Amber Road was an ancient trade route for the transfer of amber.

The Islamic Golden Age was inaugurated by the middle of the 8th century by the ascension of the Abbasid Caliphate and the transfer of the capital from Damascus to the newly founded city Baghdad.

During the final years of the 19th century, while ` Abdu ' l-Bahá was still officially a prisoner and confined to ` Akka, he organized the transfer of the remains of the Báb from Iran to Palestine.

An under sea water supply tunnel with a length of, named the Bosphorus Water Tunnel, was constructed in 2012 to transfer water from the Melen Creek in Düzce Province ( to the east of the Bosphorus strait, in northwestern Anatolia ) to the European side of Istanbul, from a distance of.

The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal, usually known simply as the Basel Convention, is an international treaty that was designed to reduce the movements of hazardous waste between nations, and specifically to prevent transfer of hazardous waste from developed to less developed countries ( LDCs ).

The first option ( although it is debatable to what extent the Duke was committed to such an enterprise ) was a plan to transfer his forces from the Spanish Netherlands to northern Italy ; once there, he intended linking up with Prince Eugene in order to defeat the French and safeguard Savoy from being overrun.

A further massive transfer of Bastarnae was carried out by emperor Diocletian ( ruled 284-305 ) after he and his colleague Galerius defeated a coalition of Bastarnae and Carpi in 299.

After its brick-by-brick relocation to Stanley, the site was sold by the Government for " only HK $ 1 billion " in August 1982 amidst growing concern over the future of Hong Kong in the run-up to the transfer of sovereignty.

On 22 November 2007, the Nigerian Senate rejected the transfer, since the Green Tree Agreement ceding the area to Cameroon was contrary to Section 12 ( 1 ) of the 1999 Constitution.

The outcome of the controversy was a de facto Nigerian refusal to withdraw its troops from Bakassi and transfer sovereignty.
