1. involving or characterized by the transfer of heat to or from a system
Usage: physics; thermodynamics

Examples

• The nonadiabatic process allowed heat exchange with the surroundings.
• In nonadiabatic conditions, the gas temperature changed due to heat transfer.
• The researcher studied nonadiabatic transitions in molecular systems.
• Nonadiabatic cooling occurs when a system loses heat to its environment.
• The experiment required nonadiabatic conditions to observe thermal effects.
• Nonadiabatic processes are common in real-world thermodynamic systems.
