An adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process in which no heat is exchanged between a system and its surroundings. This means that any change in the internal energy of the system occurs solely due to work done on or by the system, rather than heat transfer. Key characteristics of adiabatic processes include: 1. **No Heat Transfer:** As mentioned, there is no energy transfer as heat (\(Q = 0\)).
