1. Thermodynamics and Energy
Thermodynamics can be defined as the
science of Energy. Energy can be defined
as capacity to do work.
Classification of Energy:
1. Stored Energy
a) Potential Energy
b) Kinetic Energy
c) Internal Energy
2. Transit Energy (Transit Energy)

5. Properties of System
The state of System may be identified or described be certain observable quantities such as
volume, temperature, pressure and density etc. All the quantities, which identify the state of
system are called properties.
Extensive Properties
A quantity of matter in a given system is divided, notionally into a number of parts. The
Properties of system whose value for entire system is equal to the sum of their values for
individual parts of system are called extensive properties. Ex. Total mass, Total volume, Total
Energy
Intensive Properties
It may be notice that, The temperature of the system is not equal to the sum of temperature
of its individual parts. It is also true for pressure and density of system. Ex. Temperature,
Pressure and density.

6. Thermodynamic Equilibrium
1. Mechanical Equilibrium
A system said to be in mechanical equilibrium when there is no unbalanced force
acting on any part of the system or system as whole. The pressure in the system
is same at all points and does not change with time
2. Thermal Equilibrium
A system said to be in thermal equilibrium when there is no temperature
difference between the parts of the system or between system and surrounding.
3. Chemical Equilibrium
A system said to be in chemical equilibrium when there is no chemical reaction in
the system. The chemical composition is same in the system which does not
change with time
