The word 'isothermal' is built from 'iso-' (same) + 'thermal' (temperature) — the defining condition is that temperature stays constant throughout the process.

Thermodynamic processes are classified by which quantity is held constant:

  • Isothermal process: temperature is constant, Delta T = 0 (but heat q and work w individually need not be zero — for an ideal gas, since internal energy depends only on T, Delta U = 0 too, so q = -w by the first law)
  • Adiabatic process: no heat exchange with surroundings, q = 0
  • Isochoric process: constant volume
  • Isobaric process: constant pressure …
