Synopsis

Thermodynamics  is  that  branch  of physics  which  seeks  to  derive
relationships between properties of matter, especially those which are
affected by temperature, and a description of the conversion of energy
from one form to another. Mechanical engineering systems are primarily
about  energy  exchanges. All mechanical engineers must  therefore  be
well  grounded in those relationships which describe those  exchanges.
They  must also be skilled in analysing machinery and systems for  the
energy  exchanges occurring. Thermodynamics is therefore an  essential
and most important part of any mechanical engineering course of study.
