Top Thermodynamics Flashcards

Thermodynamics is a branch of physics concerned with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work. When scientists originally studied thermodynamics, they were really studying heat and thermal energy. In 1854, British physicist Lord Kelvin was the first to formulate a concise definition of thermodynamics, which the flashcards will teach you all about!
 
There are four laws of thermodynamics that define fundamental physical quantities that characterize thermodynamic systems. The first law of thermodynamics states that when energy passes into or out of a system, its internal changes according to the law of conservation of energy. Can you state the other laws of thermodynamics? Don’t worry if you can’t, because these flashcards will teach you as much as you need to know about thermodynamics!
