Relation between isothermal, isobaric, and isocaloric

How are isothermal, isobaric, and isocaloric related?

Well these are all thermodynamic terms/vocabulary to describe a system changing under specific conditions. Isothermal is referring to a change in the system when temperature remains constant. Isobaric is referring to a change in the system when pressure remains constant while volume and temperature might change. Isocloric process is when the volume remains constant so obviously no work would be done one or by the system.

Isothermal processes maintain constant temperature, with pressure and volume related by PV = constant. Isobaric processes involve constant pressure, with volume and temperature related by VT = constant, and isocaloric processes, where there is no heat exchange, are characterized by P V^gamma = constant for ideal gases.
