adiabatically

Examples

• All

• When the air rises adiabatically, it cools and forms clouds.

• So by compressing 3He adiabatically, you can transform some of the 3He from liquid to solid, thus lowering the temperature of the mixture.

• One result is that most of the convection zone is indeed adiabatically stratified, as had been expected.

• The atmosphere in this model is effectively a gas column in an adiabatically bound state; heat conduction throughout the column will lead to an equilibrium of constant temperature distribution.

• So relatively dry regions of the atmosphere are indicative of descending currents, which adiabatically warm and thereby lower their relative humidity (e/es).

• If the spins are separated adiabatically—that is, slowly enough to let B nuc torque the spins—they'll settle into their ground state?

• The katabatic winds warm adiabatically as they descend from the ice sheet, whereas the coastal breezes tend to be cool as they advect into the valley from the ice-covered McMurdo Sound.

• The gas expanded adiabatically, causing its temperature to drop significantly.

• In an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged between the gas and its surroundings.
