adiabatic systems

[Emily Tam 1k]

when a system is adiabatic, does that mean no heat is being introduced into the system or does it mean that there is no existing heat at all inside the system?

[Noah Cook 3O]

It just means that the heat is constant, there will always be some level of heat within a system. Here it just doesnt change.

[Douglas Nguyen 2J]

No heat is gained or lost by the system, so q=o and delta U = w.

[Samantha Pacheco 2K]

Adiabatic means there is no heat flow, no heat is being transferred between the system and the surroundings

[MariahClark 2F]

It means that there it no additional heat being transferred between or within the system. There could already be heat in there to begin with but it will not change.

[paytonm1H]

adiabatic means no heat exchange (but there can he heat already stored in the system, there is just no heat loss or gain). in an adiabatic system, q=0

[Lisa Werner 2F]

it means that q=0, so delta=w. it will usually be specified in the problem.

[Jacqueline Duong 1H]

Adiabatic is when q=0, so that would mean that there is no transfer of heat.

[Anthony Hatashita 4H]

Adiabatic means there is no heat exchange, however there can already be heat within the system.

[Diana Andrade_4F]

Adiabatic means that there is no heat transfer

[Michellekim1H]

According to the textbook, it just means that there's o heat transfer between the system and its surroundings even if there's a temperature difference.
