For a reversible process, I imagine it is correct to say that

[itex]dS = \frac{dq}{T}[/itex] where all quantities refer to system quantities (not the surrounding).

However, for an adiabatic process, [itex]dq = 0[/itex].

Thus, should it be the case that for an adiabatic reversible process,

[itex]dS = \frac{dq}{T} = \frac{0}{T} = 0[/itex]

Please correct me if I am wrong, and point out the flaws in my reasoning.
