Introduction to Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat, work, temperature,
and energy. It plays a vital role in engineering, chemistry, and everyday life.
The Four Laws of Thermodynamics

- Zeroth Law: If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third, they are in equilibrium with each other.
- First Law: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed (Law of Energy Conservation).
- Second Law: Heat flows naturally from hot to cold bodies; entropy increases.
- Third Law: As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a constant
minimum.
Key Concepts in Thermodynamics

- System and Surroundings


- Heat and Work
- Internal Energy
- Enthalpy
- Entropy
- Specific Heat
Applications of Thermodynamics

- Power plants and engines


- Refrigeration and air conditioning
- Chemical reactions and processes
- Biological systems and metabolism
- Spacecraft and thermal insulation
Thermodynamic Processes

- Isothermal (constant temperature)


- Adiabatic (no heat exchange)
- Isobaric (constant pressure)
- Isochoric (constant volume)
Conclusion

Thermodynamics helps us understand how energy moves and changes form. Its principles are essential in
both theoretical science and practical engineering applications.
