Examples

For instance, when scientists at the NIST achieved a record-setting cold temperature of 700 nK (billionths of a kelvin) in 1994, they used optical lattice laser equipment to adiabatically cool caesium atoms. Source: Internet

In classical thermodynamics, such a rapid change would still be called adiabatic because the system is adiabatically isolated, and there is no transfer of energy as heat. Source: Internet

In this sense, a rapid compression of a gas is sometimes approximately or loosely said to be adiabatic, though often far from isentropic, even when the gas is not adiabatically isolated by a definite wall. Source: Internet

It is sometimes possible to change the state of a system diabatically (as opposed to adiabatically ) in such a way that it can be brought past a phase transition point without undergoing a phase transition. Source: Internet

The parcel of air can only slowly dissipate the energy by conduction or radiation (heat), and to a first approximation it can be considered adiabatically isolated and the process an adiabatic process. Source: Internet

The transfer of energy as work into an adiabatically isolated system can be imagined as being of two idealized extreme kinds. Source: Internet
