Thermodynamics
Science that deals with heat and work (energy
interaction) and their effect on the properties of
materials or working substance.
Like every basic science subject, these subject is
also based on experimental observations/natural
phenomena.
All these observations are formalizes into
certain laws i.e zeroth law, 1st Law, 2nd Law and
3rd laws of thermo.
Principles of energy conversion
technologies are governed by these laws.
Examples: Energy Conversion

Thermodynamics plays a vital role in the
analysis, development and design of all the
systems , considering such as increase in
efficiency, improved and optimum design
for a dynamic and sustainable society
Concerned with environmental issues
related with all these devices
Objective: We must consider how we can
eliminate or at least minimize damaging
effects, as well as use our natural resources,
efficiently and responsibly.
