The zeroth law of this says 2 bodies each in thermal equilibrium with a 3rd are in thermal equilibrium with each other |
It's the branch of physics that deals with the relationship between heat, work, temperature & energy |
Carnot's theory that heat is interchangeable with work formed the basis for this branch of physics |
Physics:Helmholtz formulated the first law of this, a statement on the conservation of energy |
This branch of physics deals with heat & includes cryogenics, which deals with extremely low temperatures |
In 1906 Walther Nernst announced his heat theorem, now known as the third law of this |
(Al Gore gives the clue.) When the future seems gloomy, think of the work of Ilya Prigogine, who said that a system open to new ideas & influences can reform itself in his Nobel-winning corollary to the second law of these |
The first law of this states that energy in a system cannot be created or destroyed |
Good news! Ilya Prigogine showed that the 2nd law of this doesn't doom the universe to a slow "heat death" |
The 2nd law of this covers equal distribution of resources; thus cream in coffee blends evenly even when not stirred |
Thermodynamics description |
---|
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics concerned with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work. The behavior of these quantities is governed by the four laws of thermodynamics, irrespective of the composition or specific properties of the material or system in question. The laws of thermodynamics are explained in terms of macroscopic constituents by statistical mechanics. Thermodynamics applies to a wide variety of topics in science and engineering, especially physical chemistry, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. * Historically, thermodynamics developed out of a desire to increase the efficiency of early steam engines, particularly through the work of French physicist Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot (1824) who believed that engine efficiency was the key that could help France win the Napoleonic Wars. Scottish physicist Lord Kelvin was the first to formulate a concise definition of thermodynamics in 1854 which stated, "Thermo-dynamics is the subject of the |
