Adiabatic processes and temperatures

In summary, adiabatic processes are thermodynamic changes where no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, leading to changes in temperature based solely on work done on or by the system. During an adiabatic compression, the temperature of a gas increases, while in adiabatic expansion, the temperature decreases. The relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature in these processes is governed by specific equations, such as the adiabatic condition, which describes how these properties change without heat transfer. Understanding these processes is crucial in various applications, including engines and refrigeration systems.

Do adiabatic processes maintain temperatures? That is, can temperatures remain constant during adiabatic processes?

What is the definition of an adiabatic process? Can you figure out the answer to your question from that definition?

You also have to distinguish between reversible and irreversible, adiabatic processes. You might get different answers.
