Thermodynamics focuses largely on how a heat transfer is related to various
energy changes withina physical system undergoinga thermodynamicprocess.
Such processes usually resultin work being done by the system and are guided
by the laws of thermodynamics.
Gas
Thermodynamicscomes from the Greek words, Therme, means "heat", and
Dynamis, meaning "work". Literally, thermodynamics means heat and work.

There are three principal laws of thermodynamics. Each law leads to the Boundary

the operationof a physical system. Thermodynamics also involves with energy Figure 1.3. Closed system (Piston-cylinder)

of mass nor that of energy takes place across its boundary with the surroundings.
