Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics and Applications

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. Heat is energy can be converted from one form to another or transferred from one object to another. It is energy transferred between substances or systems due to a temperature difference between them according to Energy Education. As a form of energy heat is conserved i.e. it cannot be created or destroyed. It can however be transferred from one place to another.
