| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | See adiabatic process. (references) |
Mining | Compression in which no heat is added to or subtracted from the air and the internal energy of the air is increased by an amount equivalent to the external work done on the air. The increase in temperature of the air during adiabatic compression tends to increase the pressure on account of the decrease in volume alone; therefore, the pressure during adiabaticcompression rises faster than the volume diminishes. (references) |
Physics | Compression (of a gas, plasma, etc.) not accompanied by gain or loss of heat from outside the system. For a plasma in a magnetic field, a compression slow enough that the magnetic moment (and other adiabatic invariants - see entry) of the plasma particles may be taken as constant. (references) |
