Is it possible to decrease the temperature of a gas without removing any heat from the gas?

I know if temperature is raised it is an equilvalent to adding heat and if temperature is lovered it is an equilvalent to removing heat.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
yes ofcorse temp. and heat are two different(but not tooo different) things
u do have adiabatic processes in which heat absorbed/released is 0 bet the temp. of the system changes

Thanks, very helpful
 
welcome:cool:
