1. What are Thermodynamics?

According to my own knowledge, Thermodynamics deals with the relationship of heat, work,
temperature, and energy. Which the internal energy explains how work is done by the system or work is
on the system. In Chemistry, as we study on previous year, when the work is done by the system the
internal energy is decreases. While when the work is done on the system, the internal energy increases.
In Physics, when work is done by the system, the internal energy is increases. When the work is done on
the system, the internal energy is decreases. When heat is absorbed by the system it is called
Endothermic, while when the heat is release by the system it is called Exothermic. The zeroth law of
thermodynamics. When two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, the first two
systems are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This property makes it meaningful to use
thermometers as the “third system” and to define a temperature scale.

Information on thermodynamics in further detail. The first law of thermodynamics, or the law of
conservation of energy. The change in a system’s internal energy is equal to the difference between heat
added to the system from its surroundings and work done by the system on its surroundings. The
second law of thermodynamics. Heat does not flow spontaneously from a colder region to a hotter
region, or, equivalently, heat at a given temperature cannot be converted entirely into work.
Consequently, the entropy of a closed system, or heat energy per unit temperature, increases over time
toward some maximum value. Thus, all closed systems tend toward an equilibrium state in which
entropy is at a maximum and no energy is available to do useful work. The third law of thermodynamics.
The entropy of a perfect crystal of an element in its most stable form tends to zero as the temperature
approaches absolute zero. This allows an absolute scale for entropy to be established that, from a
statistical point of view, determines the degree of randomness or disorder in a system.

2. What is the difference of Temperature and Heat?

Heat describes the transfer of thermal energy between molecules within a system and is measured in
Joules. Heat measures how energy moves or flows. An object can gain heat or lose heat, but it cannot
have heat. Heat is a measure of change, never a property possessed by an object or system. Therefore,
it is classified as a process variable.

Temperature describes the average kinetic energy of molecules within a material or system and is
measured in Celsius (°C), Kelvin(K), Fahrenheit (°F), or Rankine (R). It is a measurable physical property of
an object also known as a state variable. Other measurable physical properties include velocity, mass,
and density, to name a few. Although the two are different but they are closely related.
