:.:: "Adiabata" - What does it mean?

Adiabata from Greek adiabatos - "impassable". A curve on Pressure/Volume graph that describes adiabatic process.

Adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process that occurs without gain or loss of heat and without a change in entropy. Therefore, the change in internal energy is in the form of work done. In real life adiabatic process may take place when the system is isolated from the environment, or when the process occurs quickly enough that no heat can enter or escape. Adiabatic processes also occur when the systems are so large (like the weather) that no significant heat loss or gain can occur.

For instance, a hot gas in an automobile cylinder expands and does work on the piston. The gas becomes cooler because of its expansion, but no heat has entered or left the system. If the piston is pushed down, compressing the gas, it would attain its original temperature.

Other examples of adiabatic processes are: expansion of sound waves and explosions.

So, why is this company called Adiabata, Inc? Well, we work not to heat the environment and, certainly, not to increase the level of chaos in the universe, but rather, we make every effort to use our internal abilities to deliver something useful to others.
