Thermodynamics is the macroscopic study of energy transfers between systems and their surroundings as either heat or work. It arose from studying heat and work transfers and how they relate to a system's volume, pressure, and temperature. Thermodynamic equilibrium is an important concept, where a system's temperature is well-defined. As systems move further from equilibrium, exact thermodynamic analysis becomes more difficult. However, relatively simple approximations using equilibrium variables are still useful for practical applications like heat engines. Central to analysis are defining the system of interest and its surrounding environment, which can interact with and exchange heat with the system, such as a heat bath held at a constant temperature.

Abstract

Thermodynamics:
The plain term 'thermodynamics' refers to a macroscopic description of bodies and processes ".
Any reference to atomic constitution is foreign to classical thermodynamics." The qualified term
'statistical thermodynamics' refers to descriptions of bodies and processes in terms of the atomic
constitution of matter, mainly described by sets of items all alike, so as to have equal
probabilities.
Thermodynamics arose from the study of two distinct kinds of transfer of energy, as heat and
as work, and the relation of those to the system's macroscopic variables of volume, pressure and
temperature. Transfers of matter are also studied in thermodynamics.
Thermodynamic Equilibrium is one of the most important concepts for thermodynamics. The
temperature of a thermodynamic system is well defined, and is perhaps the most characteristic
quantity of thermodynamics. As the systems and processes of interest are taken further from
thermodynamic equilibrium, their exact thermo dynamical study becomes more difficult.
Relatively simple approximate calculations, however, using the variables of equilibrium
thermodynamics, are of much practical value. In many important practical cases, as in heat
engines or refrigerators, the systems consist of many subsystems at different temperatures and
pressures. In engineering practice, thermodynamic calculations deal effectively with such
systems provided the equilibrium thermodynamic variables are nearly enough well-defined.
Central to thermodynamic analysis are the definitions of the system, which is of interest, and of
its surrounding. The surroundings of a thermodynamic system consist of physical devices and of
other thermodynamic systems that can interact with it. An example of a thermodynamic
surrounding is a heat bath, which is held at a prescribed temperature, regardless of how much
heat might be drawn from it.
