An isothermal process is a change of a system, in which the temperature remains constant: ΔT = 0. This typically occurs when a system is in contact with an outside thermal reservoir (heat bath), and the change in the system will occur slowly enough to allow the system to continue to adjust to the temperature of the reservoir through heat exchange

The expansion of air under constant temperature. Since the air does work on expanding, it loses heat; consequently, heat must be added to the air to maintain it at constant temperature.
