Thermodynamics - Alimentary

About Course

Thermodynamics came from a Greek word therme meaning heat and dynamikos meaning power. However, Its literal meaning is motion or flow (dynamics) of heat (thermos).

Thermodynamics is the branch of science which deals with changes in energy or transfers of energy that accompany physical and chemical processes.

Here we will cover thermodynamics in details and deduce formulas and relationships which are important for students.
