TD – Full N is a concise guide to the core ideas of thermodynamics and their microscopic origin: 1. It begins with the First Law, introducing heat, work and internal energy through simple engine cycles, showing how energy is conserved in everyday processes. 2. It then explains the Second Law, using the concept of entropy to distinguish reversible from irreversible changes and illustrating the ideal Carnot cycle and its efficiency limit. 3. Next, it presents the Helmholtz and Gibbs free en...
