Adiabatic - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Private Pilot Vocab. Test with 100% Correct Answers | Latest Update 2024 | Rated A+ Absolute Altitude - Actual height above the surface of the earth, either land or water. Absolute Ceiling - The altitude where a particular airplane's climb rate reaches zero. Adiabatic Cooling - A process of cooling the air through expansion. For example, as air moves up a slope it expands with the reduction of atmospheric pressure and cools as it expands. Adiabatic Heating - A process of heating dry air thr...
