What is adiabatic cooling?

Adiabatic cooling is a process in which the temperature of a substance decreases due to it expanding without any heat being added or removed from the system. As a result, the pressure of the substance also decreases since the volume has increased. This occurs due to the decrease in internal energy of the substance as its molecules disperse and move further apart without any energy being transferred to or from surrounding surroundings. Adiabatic cooling occurs in natural processes such as the cooling of moist air as it rises in the atmosphere and expands due to reduced pressure, known as adiabatic cooling of the atmosphere. It is also used in industrial or commercial settings to cool air in buildings or refrigeration systems. This process is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly since it does not require the use of refrigerants or chemicals that are harmful to the environment.
