Generally in law, the voluntary relinquishing of all rights, title or possession of property.

A thermodynamic change of state in a system in which there is no transfer of heat or mass across the boundaries of the system. In an adiabatic process, compression always results in warming, expansion in cooling. Compare to diabatic process.

Temperature based on an absolute scale.
