Abstract
Thermodynamics is a science that deals with energy (heat and work) transformations and properties of substance that are affected by these transformations. Thermodynamics has been a significant part for a long time in engineering field with broad application areas such as power plants, transportation vehicles, and some direct energy conversion devices. Generally, the chemical scientist focuses on chemical reactions, phase equilibrium, and catalysis. Also, it is necessary to check whether the reactions were completed or proceed to a precise limit only. Thermodynamics also contributes to the above-mentioned chemical arena. This chapter discusses the introductory part of thermodynamics, work and energy transfer, laws of thermodynamics, principles of energy conversion, combined forms of first law and second law of thermodynamics, thermodynamic relations, and fluid compressibility. The above-mentioned issues have been well presented with inclusion of short notes. Also, illustrative example problems are solved.
