Topic overview
Learn the foundations of Thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics connects temperature, energy transfer, work, entropy, and system boundaries with practical decisions and tasks. Guided examples, comparison, practice, and feedback help learners apply these ideas to reasoning about engines, phase changes, efficiency, and thermal processes. The goal is to make each step easier to explain, check, and improve.
