Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with the relationship between heat, energy,
and work
...
In this article, we will discuss the fundamental concepts of
thermodynamics, including the laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic properties,
thermodynamic processes, and cycles
...
The Laws of Thermodynamics:
The laws of thermodynamics are the foundation of thermodynamics
...
a
...
It states
that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transferred or converted from one
form to another
...
b
...
It states
that heat cannot spontaneously transfer from a colder body to a hotter body
...
2
...
There are two types of thermodynamic properties: intensive and extensive
...
Intensive Properties:
Intensive properties are those that do not depend on the size or amount of the system
...
b
...
Examples of
extensive properties include volume, mass, and energy
...
Thermodynamic Processes:
A thermodynamic process is the transformation of a system from one state to another
...
a
...
During an
isothermal process, the internal energy of the system remains constant, and any heat added to
the system is used to do work
...
Adiabatic Process:
An adiabatic process is a process that takes place without any heat transfer
...
c
...
During an isobaric
process, the heat added to the system is used to increase the internal energy of the system
...
Isochoric Process:
An isochoric process is a process that takes place at constant volume
...
4
...
There are two types of thermodynamic cycles: power cycles and refrigeration
cycles
...
Power Cycles:
A power cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that produces net work as its output
...
