adiabatic systems
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?

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

Re: adiabatic systems
Adiabatic means there is no heat flow, no heat is being transferred between the system and the surroundings

Re: adiabatic systems
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.
Re: adiabatic systems
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

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

Re: adiabatic systems
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.
