Isothermal vs. Adiabatic
An isothermal process in one in which the initial and final temperatures are the same.
Isothermal processes are notnecessarily adiabatic.
An adiabatic process in one in which no heat is exchanged between the system and its surroundings.

• A reversible change is one that can be reversed by an infinitesimal modification of a variable.
