What’s the difference between isolated system and adiabatic system?

Open in App

Solution

An isolated system has no contact with its surroundings. It is a physical system where neither matter nor energy can be exchanged between the surrounding and the system, but it can only move around inside the system whereas an adiabatic system is the one where no heat is added or removed from the system but volume can be varied. Thus an isolated system with volume will result in an adiabatic system.

Is isolated system and adiabatic system the same ?

In an isothermal process system is in contact with outside heat reservior and the change occur slowly so as to facilitate to adjust temp and in adiabatic process system is isolated. Then my question is even if adiabatic system is isolated then how the temperature changes.

Q. An ideal gas is allowed to expand both adiabatic reversibly and adiabatic irreversibly in an isolated system. If

T_{i}

is the initial temperature and

T_{f}

is the final temperature, which of the following statement is correct?
