Thermodynamics

A study of the transformation of energy from one form to another, and its practical application.

A study of the transformation of energy into other manifested forms and of their practical applications. The three laws of thermodynamics are: Law of Conservation of Energy energy may be transformed in an isolated system, but its total is constant Heat cannot be changed directly into work at constant temperature by a cyclic process Heat capacity and entropy of every crystalline solid becomes zero at absolute zero (0 degrees Kelvin)
