Thermodynamics
What is Thermodynamics ?
Thermodynamics is often regarded as a universal science that rigorously describes the macroscopic behavior of systems. It provides a structured framework for understanding energy transformations and the relationships between various thermodynamic quantities. The scope of thermodynamics is broad, encompassing disciplines such as physics, chemistry, engineering, meteorology, and beyond.
