Basic Concepts of Thermodynamics
Every science has its own unique vocabulary associated with it. Precise definition of basic
concepts forms a sound foundation for development of a science and prevents possible
misunderstandings. Careful study of these concepts is essential for a good understanding
of topics in thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics and Energy
Thermodynamics can be defined as the study of energy, energy transformations and its
relation to matter. The analysis of thermal systems is achieved through the application of
the governing conservation equations, namely Conservation of Mass, Conservation of
Energy (1st law of thermodynamics), the 2nd law of thermodynamics and the property
relations. Energy can be viewed as the ability to cause changes.  
First law of thermodynamics: one of the most fundamental laws of nature is the
conservation of energy principle. It simply states that during an interaction, energy can
change from one form to another but the total amount of energy remains constant.
Second law of thermodynamics: energy has quality as well as quantity, and actual
processes occur in the direction of decreasing quality of energy.
Whenever there is an interaction between energy and matter, thermodynamics is
involved. Some examples include heating and air‐conditioning systems, refrigerators,
water heaters, etc.
