F3C Radio transmission designator.Facsimile transmission using frequency modulation, with a single channel containing analogue information.(ALRS)

A thermodynamic change of state in a system in which there is no transfer of heat or mass across the boundaries of the system. In an adiabatic process, compression always results in warming, expansion in cooling. Compare to diabatic process.
