Definition Thermodynamics
The word thermodynamics comes from the Greek words θερμη (therme,
meaning “heat”) and δυναμις (dynamis, meaning “power”). Thermodynamics
is the study of the various processes that change energy from one form into
another (such as converting heat into work) and uses variables such as
temperature, volume, and pressure

Thermodynamics Classical or Statistical??
• Thermodynamic systems can be studied from two points of view:
1. Microscopic approach or statistical thermodynamics
2. Macroscopic approach or classical thermodynamics
