adiabatic process

This the process in which the system undergoes pressure and volume changes while no heat enters the system and leaves the system.
In this process, temperature changes during this process, i.e., the system is not equilbrium with the surroundings of the system i.e., we can say that the system is thermally isolated.
The adiabatic process is more quicker than the isothermal process because it is the process different from the natural processes like melting and boiling. The adiabatic process is not open to the surroundings i.e., temperature changes occurs during the process. After adiabatic expansion, the temperature decreases and adiabatic compression the temperature increases.
According to first law of thermodynamics, dQ=dU+dW
In adiabatic process, there is no heat supplied to the system or lost by the system i.e., dQ=0
Due to temperature changes, Boyle's law does not hold good.
During this process, the work done by the gas
