8. Definition
Thermodynamics is derived from two words:
‘Thermo’ which means ‘Heat energy’ and ‘Dynamics’
which means ‘conversion’ or ‘transformation’
Concisely, thermodynamics is a division of science
that deals with conversion of energy from one form to
another
The main forms of energy of interest in engineering
thermodynamics are heat and work

9. Definition contd.
Work is the form of energy useful in displacement of
a body
Heat is the form of energy transferred due to
temperature gradient between two bodies

10. Applications of Engineering
Thermodynamics
Engineering application of thermodynamic principles
is the design of various systems using fluid properties
to cause energy transformation
Applications in design of heat engines, refrigeration
machines, air conditioning systems
