Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy. In particular, it describes how thermal energy is converted to and from other forms of energy and how it affects matter.

Description

In Physics, thermodynamics deals with temperature, heat and their relation to energy, radiation, work, and properties of matter. The energy can be of any forms such as electrical, mechanical, or chemical energy. William Thomson coined the term thermodynamics in 1749. It is derived from two Greek words “thermes” meaning heat, and “dynamikos” meaning powerful.

When we say the word dynamic we think of motion or movement and energy. Thus, the term thermodynamics means heat movement or heat flow.
