{{Table of thermodynamic cycles}}

Each process is one of the following:
*[[isothermal process|isothermal]] (at constant temperature, maintained with heat added or removed from a heat source or sink)
*[[isobaric process|isobaric]] (at constant pressure)
*[[isochoric process|isometric/isochoric]] (at constant volume), also referred to as iso-volumetric
*[[adiabatic process|adiabatic]] (no heat is added or removed from the system during adiabatic process)
*[[isentropic process|isentropic]] (reversible adiabatic process, no heat is added or removed during isentropic process)
