Introduction of Thermodynamics and Basic Terminalogies

The term “thermodynamics” originates from two distinct words: “thermo,” referring to heat, and “dynamics,” which denotes movement. Consequently, “thermodynamics” encapsulates the study of heat flow. In the realm of physical chemistry, this field delves into the quantitative relationships between heat and other forms of energy, occasionally referred to as “energetics.” At its core, thermodynamics rests upon four fundamental laws, forming the basis for understanding energy relationships in both physical and chemical processes.
