What is difference between isothermal and adiabatic process?
That's helpful. How do these processes differ in terms of energy transfer?
In an isothermal process, the system is in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings and heat is constantly being added or removed to maintain a constant temperature. In an adiabatic process, there is no heat transfer between the system and its surroundings and thus the system's energy remains constant.
