Document Summary
Thermodynamics, study of the connection between heat, work, temperature, and energy. In wide terms, thermodynamics manages the exchange of energy starting with one spot then onto the next and starting with one structure then onto the next. The key idea is that intensity is a type of energy comparing to an unequivocal measure of mechanical work. Rumford"s perception of the proportionality between heat produced and work done lies at the underpinning of thermodynamics. Another trailblazer was the french military architect sadi. Sometime thereafter, these thoughts were created by rudolf clausius, a german mathematician and physicist, into the first and second laws of thermodynamics, separately. (1) continuum and macroscopic approach. Concept of continuum is the criteria which are must be applied to the macroscopic view of thermodynamics. Generally there are two approaches for studying thermodynamics. One is microscopic and the other is macroscopic.
