List of adiabatic concepts

none


Summary

none

Adiabatic (from Gr.negative + διάβασις passage; transference) refers to any process that occurs without heat transfer. This concept is used in many areas of physics and engineering. Notable examples are listed below.

Automobiles

  • Engine braking, a feature of some diesel engines, uses adiabatic expansion to diminish the vehicle's forward momentum.

Meteorology

  • Adiabatic lapse rate, the change in air temperature with changing height, resulting from pressure change.

Quantum chemistry

  • Adiabatic invariant Born–Oppenheimer approximation

Thermodynamics

  • Adiabatic process
  • Adiabatic ionization
  • Adiabatic index
  • Adiabatic accessibility

Quantum mechanics

  • Adiabatic theorem
  • Adiabatic quantum motor

Electronics

  • Adiabatic circuit
  • Adiabatic logic
