their relation to energy, entropy, and the
physical properties of...
- The laws of
thermodynamics are a set of
scientific laws
which define a
group of
physical quantities, such as temperature, energy, and entropy, that characterize...
- The term and the
concept are used in
diverse fields, from
classical thermodynamics,
where it was
first recognized, to the
microscopic description of nature...
- The
first law of
thermodynamics is a
formulation of the law of
conservation of
energy in the
context of
thermodynamic processes. The law distinguishes...
- The
second law of
thermodynamics is a
physical law
based on
universal empirical observation concerning heat and
energy interconversions. A

-
closely but not
actually reached, as
recognized in the
third law of
thermodynamics. It
would be
impossible to
extract energy as heat from a body at that...
- In
thermodynamics, heat is the
thermal energy transferred between systems due to a
temperature difference. In
colloquial use, heat
sometimes refers to...

Chemical thermodynamics is the
study of the
interrelation of heat and work with
chemical reactions or with
physical changes of
state within the confines...
- The
zeroth law of
thermodynamics is one of the four prin****l laws of
thermodynamics. It
provides an
independent definition of
temperature without reference...
- The
third law of
thermodynamics states that the
entropy of a
closed system at
thermodynamic equilibrium approaches a
constant value when its temperature...
