Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics:

This studies the behaviour of how objects and systems behave as energy is transferred between them.

Means what happens to objects as energy is added and subtracted.

Two Fundamental Principles:

First Law:

Energy is always conserved. Energy may be transferred between objects and change from one type to another, but the total amount of energy is conserved.

Second Law:

The second law governs the type of energy processes that are possible. Heat energy cannot spontaneously flow from a hot object to a cold object.
