Thermal expansion and resistance can be described using equations relating changes in temperature to changes in length, volume, and heat flow. Maxwell's distribution defines the probability of molecular speeds at a given temperature. The ideal gas law relates pressure, volume, amount and temperature of a gas. First law of thermodynamics equates internal energy change to heat and work. Adiabatic and isothermal processes can be modeled using pressure-volume relationships.
