No, heat exchange is not possible in an adiabatic process — that is exactly its defining condition (q = 0).

An adiabatic process is defined as one that occurs without any transfer of heat between the system and its surroundings — the system is thermally insulated. This is achieved either by carrying out the process very rapidly (no time for heat exchange) or by physically insulating the system. Under the first law of thermodynamics, ΔU = q + w; for an adiabatic process q = 0, so ΔU = w — any change in internal energy (and …
