Thermodynamics and Its Basic Processes via Art
Journal Title: Research & Development in Material Science - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Thermodynamics is the basis of all subjects in chemical engineering. It is defined [1,2] as the area of science that includes the relationship between heat and other kinds of energy. More specifically, it is the study of energy transfer in systems in which there are changes in temperature, pressure and volume at the macroscopic scale where energy is defined as the capacity of a physical system to perform work [3]. Energy comes in different forms such as heat, light, mechanical, electrical, chemical, and nuclear energy and is used to do everything we do. Sources of energy are coals, natural gas, petroleum, wind power, geothermal energy, solar energy and nuclear energy. The history of thermodynamics [4] started with G. Galilei (1597) who introduced the concept of temperature and invented one of the first thermometers.
