Introduction to Thermodynamics

 

Thermodynamics is that branch of science ,which deals with conversion of heat energy into other form of energies and describe their conversions quantitatively. Initially ,thermodynamics was means to deal with conversions from heat energy into mechanical work and vice versa. since we know that different manifestations of energy are inter convertible, according to the law of conservation of energy, the scope of thermodynamics have been enlarged to cover conversion of heat energy to other forms mechanical, electrical, magnetic , chemical etc. The thermodynamics deals with innumerable phenomena covering the different branches of physics ,chemistry and engineering.
