Question

compare isothermal and adiabatic process?

Akanksha · Accepted Answer

Difference between isothermal and adiabatic process:

Iso-thermal process
Adiabatic process

1 There is an exchange of heat between the system and the
outside environment
1 There is no exchange of heat between the system and the
outside environment

2 The temperature of the system remains constant throughout the
process
2 The heat content of the system remains constant throughout
the process

3 Isothermal processes are in general slow processes
3 Adiabatic processes are in general fast processes
