Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics is the study of heat and energy. In particular, it is concerned with how heat and energy can be converted into work. The basic laws of thermodynamics govern the behavior of all systems, whether they be gases, liquids, solids, or even plasma.

The two types of thermodynamic systems are open and closed. In an open system, energy can be exchanged with the surroundings, while in a closed system, energy cannot be exchanged with the surroundings. The four laws of thermodynamics are Zeroth law, First law, Second law, and Third law.

Thermodynamics are integral to many other scientific disciplines, such as engineering and astrophysics. As such, a thorough understanding of thermodynamics can provide students with a strong foundation for pursuing careers in these fields.
