THERMODYNAMICS – Brach of Physics




1|Thermodynamics

, Thermodynamics deals with the concepts of heat and temperature and the inter-
conversion of heat and other forms of energy. The four laws of thermodynamics govern
the behaviour of those quantities and provide a quantitative description. The term
Thermodynamics coined by William Thomson, in 1749.
