Greek origin-

Therme-heat

Dynamis-power

Classical thermo – bulk properties of matter

Statistical thermo – molecular scale

Microscopic – specific

1st- conservation of energy

2nd- disorder

3rd- absolute zero

0th- thermal equilibrium

SYSTEMS

Closed system – no mass can cross the boundary, energy can leave or enter the system

Isolated system – mass and energy do not cross the boundary

Open system – both mass ang energy can leave or enter the system

Adiabatic system – mass and energy except heat can cross the boundary

Homogenous system – 1 phase

Heterogenous system -m 2 or more phase

Working fluid – medium for energy transport between system and surroundings.

Continuum - compromises of myriad of molecules
