Question

What do you understand by thermodynamics

Answer 1

Answer:

Thermodynamics is the branch of physicsthat deals with heat and temperature, and their relation to energy, work, radiation, and properties of matter. The behavior of these quantities is governed by the four laws of thermodynamics which convey a quantitative description using measurable macroscopic physical quantities, but may be explained in terms of microscopic constituents by statistical mechanics. Thermodynamics applies to a wide variety of topics in scienceand engineering, especially physical chemistry, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering, but also in fields as complex as meteorology.
