adiabatic process
This term is used exclusively within the fields of thermodynamics and physics to describe a system that is thermally insulated. It implies a state where the system is either perfectly insulated or the process occurs so rapidly that there is no time for heat to enter or leave the system.
In practical application, it is often contrasted with isothermal processes, where temperature remains constant. While an adiabatic process involves a change in temperature due to work being done by or on the gas, it is distinguished by the total absence of heat transfer across the boundary.
