Adiabatic process: A process in which there is no heat transfer between the system and its surroundings.
Entropy: A measure of the disFree Download of a system.
Heat: A form of energy that is transferred between objects at different temperatures.
Isobaric process: A process in which the pressure of the system remains constant.
Isochoric process: A process in which the volume of the system remains constant.
Isothermal process: A process in which the temperature of the system remains constant.
Reversible process: A process that can be reversed without any change in the entropy of the universe.
Temperature: A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system.
Thermodynamic cycle: A series of processes that return the system to its initial state.
Thermodynamic equilibrium: A state in which the properties of a system do not change over time.
Thermodynamic stability: A state in which a system is resistant to change.
Work: A form of energy that is transferred between objects when a force is applied over a distance.
