Thermodynamics
DEFINITIONS
Thermodynamics
The word itself was coined by Joule in 1858 to designate the science of relations between
heat and power. Of course, a classical phenomenon in the history of science, its subject
matter quickly expanded, and thermodynamics now designates the science of all
transformations of matter and energy. (Perrot, Pierre, A to Z of Thermodynamics Oxford:
Oxford University Press, 1998, Eng’g/Ref 621.402103 P461 Reference-Information
Section, University Library)
The branch of science that deals with the principles, relationships, and conversions between
heat and other forms of energy. (Kaplan, Steven, Wiley Electrical and Electronics
Engineering Dictionary, New Jersey: Wiley, 2004, Ref 621.303 K17 Reference-
Information Section, University Library)
is a branch of physics that studies the effects of changes in temperature, pressure, and
volume on physical systems at the macroscopic scale by analyzing the collective motion of
their particles using statistics. Roughly, heat means "energy in transit" and dynamics
relates to "movement"; thus, in essence thermodynamics studies the movement of
energy and how energy instills movement. Historically, thermodynamics developed out of
need to increase the efficiency of early steam engines.

It describes the laws of thermodynamics, and applications such as gas turbines and air conditioning
with definitions of related terms.
Eric Weisstein's World of Science is written and maintained by the author as a public service for
scientific knowledge and education. Although it is often difficult to find explanations for technical
subjects that are both clear and accessible, this web site bridges the gap by placing an interlinked
framework of mathematical exposition and illustrative examples at the fingertips of every internet
user.
