What’s Adiabatic Compression (Adiabatic Heating)?
February 22, 2026
Adiabatic compression occurs when a gas is compressed without any heat exchange with the environment. This means that while the gas is being compressed, it does not lose or gain heat from its surroundings.
What’s Adiabatic expansion (and Adiabatic cooling)?
February 22, 2026
Adiabatic expansion refers to a process in which a gas expands without exchanging heat with its surroundings. This means that no heat enters or leaves the system during the expansion. When a gas expands in this way, its internal energy decreases, which can lead to a drop in temperature.
