Adiabatic Process 1
Adiabatic Process 1 : Natural Disaster. (1) (Thermodyn) A process in which heat neither enters nor leaves a system. Ant: Diabatic Process. (2) (Meteor) A thermal process occurring within an air mass with no heat flowing across its boundary to or from the surrounding air. Note: Air rising adiabatically in the atmosphere is cooled by expansion 9. 8?C per vertical kilometer. This cooling produces clouds and precipitation in moist air. Cf: isothermal
