Definition: The word "adiabolist" is a Latin word, meaning someone who cannot understand or comprehend certain concepts or ideas because they are unfamiliar to them or too abstract for them. Here's a brief definition of "adiabolist": - In physics, adiabatic processes, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, state that an isolated system in contact with its surroundings has no change in entropy. This means that any heat flow between two systems must be equal to the work done by those two systems on each other and opposite in sign. - Therefore, if a system is at rest or close to equilibrium, it will continue to remain at rest or close to equilibrium indefinitely under such conditions. In more modern terms, an "adiabolic" system is one that can support no heat flow between its surroundings. This means that the temperature of both systems must be equal throughout their interaction, and there can be no change in internal energy within either system due to thermal processes. Note: The concept of adiabatic processes can also apply to other thermodynamic systems like fluids or gases at temperatures close to absolute zero where temperature changes are not measurable.
