Chapter 7 Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is mainly concerned with the transformations of heat into mechanical work and the opposite transformations of mechanical work into heat.– Enrico Fermi13
Think of thermodynamics as the language and system of quantifying energy and its conversions.
Key concepts:
- System and surroundings
- Energy and energy transfer
- Entropy
The notes for this chapter is currently not finished and the migration process is still in-progress. Please utilize these Ch. 16 Notes, Entropy Notes, and Gibbs Free Energy Notes in the meantime.
