INTRODUCTION TO THERMODYNAMICS
• Thermodynamics is based on everything around us, be it a physical or chemical process,
be it a natural or an artificial process.

• No process in this universe happens without involving thermodynamics.

• Hence, the study of thermodynamics helps a great deal in understanding the exchange of
material in the universe.
Reversible Process

If it can be reversed in the direction following the same path as that of the forward process
without leaving any effect on the system and the surroundings.

Ex. Quasi-static expansion or compression of gas
