In thermodynamics, adiabatic processes do not involve heat transfer, while isentropic processes are reversible and adiabatic.
In thermodynamics, adiabatic processes do not involve heat exchange, isothermal processes occur at constant temperature, and isobaric processes happen at constant pressure.

Thermodynamics is primarily concerned with macroscopic processes, such as heat and work interactions at the system level. While thermodynamics does build upon concepts from statistical mechanics for a microscopic understanding, its main focus is on the overall behavior of systems rather than individual particles.

The study of converting heat into mechanical energy is called thermodynamics. It is a branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat, work, and energy. Thermodynamics is essential for understanding and optimizing processes such as engines, refrigeration, and power generation.
The thermodynamics of chemistry is used in pretty much all processes.

The study of energy and energy transformation is known as thermodynamics. It deals with how energy is exchanged between systems and the effects of these exchanges on the systems involved. Thermodynamics governs processes such as heat transfer, work, and energy conservation.
Quasi-static processes in thermodynamics are characterized by being slow and gradual, allowing the system to reach equilibrium at each step. These processes involve small changes in the system's properties, such as temperature and pressure, and are reversible. This ensures that the system remains in a state of balance throughout the process.
