Reversible adiabatic process is also called an Isentropic Process. It is an idealized thermodynamic process that is adiabatic and in which the work transfers of the system are frictionless; there is no transfer of heat or of matter and the process is reversible.
What is adiabatic process example?
The assumption that a process is adiabatic is a frequently made simplifying assumption. For example, the compression of a gas within a cylinder of an engine is assumed to occur so rapidly that on the time scale of the compression process, little of the system's energy can be transferred out as heat to the surroundings.
Is evaporation a reversible adiabatic process?
A moist-adiabatic process in which the air is maintained at saturation by the evaporation or condensation of water substance, the enthalpy of water vapor formed or removed being supplied by or to the air, respectively.
