adiabatically

It then imitates gas in some other properties; the internal work of the variation of volume is nil, and the specific heat is only a function of the temperature. A solution which is diluted by a reversible method is cooled like a gas which expands adiabatically. It must, however, be acknowledged that, in other points, the analogy is much less perfect.
