This document provides definitions and concepts related to thermodynamics. It discusses how thermodynamics deals with the conversion of energy from one form to another. Key points include: - Thermodynamics analyzes energy processes and relationships between heat, work, and systems. It is governed by the conservation of energy principle. - Temperature indicates heat flow direction. Heat is the form of energy transferred between systems due to a temperature difference. - Systems can be open, closed, or isolated depending on if mass and/or energy cross the boundary. Properties can be intensive or extensive. - Thermodynamic equilibrium occurs when there are no unbalanced potentials within a system, such as when temperature is uniform throughout (thermal
