  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Isodiabatic  \I`so*di`a*bat"ic\,  a.  [Iso-  +  Gr  ?  to  pass 
  through.]  (Physics) 
  Pertaining  to  the  reception  or  the  giving  out  of  equal 
  quantities  of  heat  by  a  substance.  --Rankine. 
 
  {Isodiabatic  lines}  or  {curves},  a  pair  of  lines  or  curves 
  exhibiting,  on  a  diagram  of  energy,  the  law  of  variation 
  of  the  pressure  and  density  of  a  fluid,  the  one  during  the 
  lowering,  and  the  other  during  the  raising,  of  its 
  temperature,  when  the  quantity  of  heat  given  out  by  the 
  fluid  during  any  given  stage  of  the  one  process  is  equal 
  to  the  quantity  received  during  the  corresponding  stage  of 
  the  other  Such  lines  are  said  to  be  isodiabatic  with 
  respect  to  each  other  Compare  {Adiabatic}.
