18adiabatic rate — adiabatic gradient or adiabatic rate, the rate at which a parcel of air becomes cooler or warmer as it gains or loses altitude, respectively, estimated to be approximately 5.5 degrees Fahrenheit per 1,000 feet, or 1 degree centigrade (Celsius)… …
19Adiabatic process — This article covers adiabatic processes in thermodynamics. For adiabatic processes in quantum mechanics, see adiabatic process (quantum mechanics). For atmospheric adiabatic processes, see lapse rate. In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process or an …
20Adiabatic invariant — An adiabatic invariant is a property of a physical system which stays constant when changes are made slowly.In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is a change that occurs without heat flow and slowly compared to the time to reach equilibrium. In …
