abatic
adj. C1 Advanced abat·ic
adj. describing a process where no heat is lost or gained. It is often used in science to talk about how air or gas moves without changing temperature.
adj. relating to a process in which no heat is exchanged with the surroundings. Often used in thermodynamics and meteorology to describe adiabatic cooling or heating.
The air rises and cools in an abatic process.
During the rapid ascent of the mountain, the air experienced abatic cooling, causing the temperature to drop significantly.
The system was designed to maintain abatic conditions, ensuring that any internal energy changes were solely due to work done on the gas rather than heat transfer.
