Study Notes
Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with heat and temperature, and their relation to energy, work, radiation, and properties of matter.
Laws of Thermodynamics
- The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that when two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other.
First Law of Thermodynamics
- The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
Scope of Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics studies the relation between heat, work, and energy, and their interactions with matter.
