Everything You Need To Know About the Laws of Thermodynamics in 5 Minutes
Thermodynamics is the study of the relations between heat, work, temperature, and energy. The laws of thermodynamics describe how the energy in a system changes and whether the system can perform useful work on its surroundings.
Thermodynamics is the study of how heat moves around in ‘macroscopic’ objects. Through-out these lectures, we will talk a lot about laws and models. Models are a simplified, empirical description of a real system which generally develops overtime as our knowledge progresses.
