Abstract
Thermodynamics is concerned with the definition and relation of notions like temperature, pressure and volume, with the first law of thermodynamics as a basis. The additional notion of entropy is characterized by the second law of thermodynamics. Temperature can be viewed as an integrating factor. Equilibrium conditions can be formulated by means of thermodynamic potentials. Legendre transforms and differential forms are introduced as auxiliary means. The theory is extended to mixtures to include chemical reactions, i.e., the mass action law in equilibrium and also kinetic reactions.
