Are any of the given meanings, other than the first one, current?  --Lambiam 15:57, 27 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

What do you mean? As in still in use? If so then yes, for example isothermal processes are an important part of thermodynamics. Why do you want to know? ChiZeroOne (talk) 17:05, 27 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
But do people use the term "isotherm" as a synonym of "isothermal process"? Would they for instance talk about "irreversible isotherms", or "the work done in an isotherm"?  --Lambiam 12:55, 28 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
