Difference Between Isothermal And Adiabatic Process

5 Differences Between Isothermal And Adiabatic Process

S.NO.	Isothermal Process	Adiabatic Process
1.	Definition: An isothermal process is a process in which the temperature remains constant.	Definition: An adiabatic process is a process in which no heat is transferred to or from the system.
2.	Energy transfer: An isothermal process involves the transfer of heat between the system and the surroundings.	An adiabatic process involves no heat transfer.
3.	Change in temperature: In an isothermal process, the temperature remains constant	In an adiabatic process, the temperature may change due to changes in the internal energy of the system.
4.	Work done: An isothermal process involves the transfer of work between the system and the surroundings.	An adiabatic process involves no work transfer.
5.	Applications: Isothermal processes are commonly used in refrigeration and heat pumps.	Applications: Adiabatic processes are used in the analysis of the behavior of gases and in the design of engines.
