Solution

Isothermal Process Adiabatic Process
1. There is an exchange of heat between the system and the outside surrounding. 1. There is no exchange of heat between the system and the outside surrounding.
2. The temperature of the material involved remains same. 2. The temperature of the material involved may increase.
3. Heat can be added or released from the system just to keep the same temperature. 3. There is no heat added or released from the system.
4. Here transformation is slow. 4. Here transformation is fast.
5. Here temperature of the system remains constant. 5. In these types of process total heat content of the system remains constant.
