Thermodynamics Applications

Definition

Thermodynamics applications refer to how principles of thermodynamics - such as heat transfer, energy conservation, and entropy - are applied in real-world scenarios including engines, refrigerators, and even biological systems.

Related terms

Heat Transfer:

The movement of thermal energy from one thing to another thing of different temperature.

Energy Conservation: A principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed but only changed from one form into another.

Entropy:

A measure of disorder or randomness in a closed system; it always increases over time according to the second law of thermodynamics.
