, What is Thermodynamics?
Thermodynamics is a science which deals with energy and its conversi
transformation.
It is the science of the relationship between heat, work, temperature and energy
Thermodynamics derived from a Greek word : Thermo : Heat
Dynamics : Power or Energy
Thermodynamics is the science dealing with:
❖Energy and its transformations.
❖Feasibility of a process.
❖Concept of Equilibrium processes.
Thermodynamics is the study of three ‘E’
❑ Energy
❑ Equilibrium
❑ Entropy

, Application Area of Thermodynamics
• Energy transfer is present in almost all the engineering activit
Hence, the principles of thermodynamics are playing vital role
designing all the engineering equipment such as internal combust
engines, rockets, jet engines, thermal and nuclear power pla
refrigerators etc.
• Modeling, and design of computer systems like chipset design,
optimization of processor and many more
• Cooling of computer chips
• Cooling of entire computers
