An adiabatic system is one in which there is no overall change in temperature. The process of adiabatic cooling occurs when the temperature of a gas falls as it expands. A rise in temperature due to compression is called adiabatic heating. For the study of the atmosphere, adiabatic processes are crucial. An isothermal system is one in which there is no change in temperature and the relationships between pressure and volume are fixed. A phase transition illustrates an isothermal process. In spite of the changes in heat and volume, the temperature of a material remains constant during a phase ...
