Gasses and liquids generally exhibit less hysteresis than solid materials ( eg, sound waves cause adiabatic compression and rarefaction ) and behave in a, mostly, Newtonian way.

Sound travels faster in helium than deuterium because adiabatic compression heats helium more, since the helium molecules can store heat energy from compression only in translation, but not rotation.
13.
This pressure is proportional to density to the power 5 / 3, until the energy levels become very high : very similar to adiabatic compression of a monatomic ideal gas.
14.
The cycle is closed by reversible adiabatic compression of the working body, with no energy transferred as heat, but energy being transferred to it as work from the work reservoir.
15.
Some common building materials such as stainless steel and aluminium can act as fuels with strong oxidisers such as nitrous oxide, as can contaminants, which can ignite due to adiabatic compression.
16.
The compression factor of the fusion fuel and its adiabatic compression energy determined the minimal energy required for the sparkplug to counteract the compression of the fusion fuel and the tamper s momentum.
17.
While the high temperature generated at the surface of the heat shield is due to adiabatic compression, the vehicle's kinetic energy is ultimately lost to gas friction ( viscosity ) after the vehicle has passed by.
18.
This is the reason for defining the " equivalent potential temperature ", in analogy with the potential temperature : potential temperature is a temperature adjusted for potential warming due to adiabatic compression; equivalent potential temperature factors in potential warming due to condensation as well.
19.
As with many strong oxidisers, contamination of parts with fuels have been implicated in rocketry accidents, where small quantities of nitrous / fuel mixtures explode due to " water hammer "-like effects ( sometimes called " dieseling " heating due to adiabatic compression of gases can reach decomposition temperatures ).
20.
The "'diesel engine "'( correctly known as a "'compression-ignition "'or "'CI engine "') is an internal combustion engine in which fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber is caused by the high temperature which a gas achieves ( i . e . the air ) when greatly compressed ( adiabatic compression ).
