Thermodynamic Theory

Thermodynamic theory studies how energy moves and transforms within physical systems. It explains concepts like heat (energy transferred between substances), work (energy used to move or change objects), and the laws governing these processes. The first law states energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed form. The second law explains that natural processes tend to increase disorder or entropy, meaning systems move toward equilibrium and randomness. Overall, thermodynamics helps us understand and predict how energy flows, enabling efficient design of engines, refrigerators, and many other technologies.
