Thermodynamics         Thermodynamics is the science, which deals with the  relations between heat, work and those properties of  substances which are connected with heat and work. Applications Of Thermodynamics In automobile engines heat energy of fuel is converted into work energy which drives the vehicles. Conversion of heat into work depends on the principles of thermodynamics. The working of rocket and jet engines depends on the              principles of thermodynamics. Refrigeration and air conditioning is used to maintain required temperature. Thermodynamic System Thermodynamic system or simply system is a region   in space containing a certain quantity of matter upon whih  attention is focused for study. This system may be quantity of steam, mixture of      vapour and gas or an I.C engine cylinder and its      contents.   System is enclosed by a boundary. Boundary         separates the system from the surroundings.        The boundary may b
