A process with Q=0Q = 0 throughout — no heat enters or leaves the system — is called adiabatic.

By definition, an adiabatic process is one that occurs without any exchange of heat between the system and its surroundings, i.e. dQ=0dQ = 0 at every stage. This is achieved either by thermally insulating the system (perfectly non-conducting walls) or by carrying out the process so quickly that there is no time for heat to flow.
