An isothremal process is one in which the temperature is constant. heat can be gained or lost in order to maintain a constant tempereature.
An adiabatic process is one in which there is no heat exchange between a system and its surroundings. It does not matter whether the temperature of the system is constant or not.
In an isothermal process, the internal energy of a system remains constant because the temperature does not change. This means that the relationship between internal energy and temperature is that they are directly proportional in an isothermal process.
During an isothermal expansion, the work done is equal to the change in internal energy of the system.
In an adiabatic process, the work done is equal to the change in internal energy of a system.
The relationship between the adiabatic constant pressure, temperature, and volume of a system is described by the ideal gas law. When pressure is constant in an adiabatic process, the temperature and volume of the system are inversely proportional. This means that as the temperature of the system increases, the volume of the system will also increase, and vice versa.
During reversible adiabatic expansion, the work done by the system is equal to the change in internal energy.
"Adiabatic process" refers to processes that take place in a closed system with no heat interaction with it's surroundings. "Isentropic process" refers to processes that take place in a closed system with no heat interaction with the surroundings (adiabatic process) and internally reversible. This is, no internal generation of entropy, entropy stays constant, which is what is meant by "isentropic". We can also say, an isentropic process is one where entropy stays constant, and no heat interaction of the system with the surroundings takes place (adiabatic process). Or, an adiabatic process can be irreversible, or reversible (isentropic).
Reason being vaguely adiabatic process is more rapid - process is done so fast that no energy is allowed to enter or exit the system. So P-v variations will be high
No, it isn't. This is because the first law relation Q - W = ΔU reduces to W = 0 in this case since the system is adiabatic (Q = 0) and ΔU = 0 for the isothermal processes of ideal gases. Therefore, this adiabatic system cannot receive any net work at constant temperature.
An isothermal process is one which does not take in or give off heat; it is perfectly insulated. Iso = same, thermal = heat. In real life there are very few isothermal processes. Heat loss accounts for most process inefficiencies.

No. All processes involving heat transfer are not reversible, since they result in an increase in entropy. Isothermal expansion implies heat transfer to maintain the system at a constant temperature. Normally an expanding gas would cool if there were no heat entering the system. Adiabatic processes involve no heat transfer and are reversible. The temperature can (and usually does) change during an adiabatic process.
An isolated system is a system that doesn't not interact with its surroundings. No interactions at all. No work, no heat transfer. An adiabatic system is one that does not permit heat transfer between the system and its surroundings. It can do work on the surroundings.
During reversible adiabatic expansion, the work done by the system is equal to the change in internal energy.
Isothermal changes are those changes which when take place, there is an exchange of energy between the system and surroundings so that temperature of the system doesn't change. Such processes have to be carried out in a conducting vessel.
