520			_aThermodynamics is the branch of physics concerned with temperature, heat, and their relationship to energy, work, radiation, and properties of matter. The four fundamental laws of thermodynamics govern the behaviors of these quantities. These laws include the zeroths, first, second, and third law of thermodynamics. The zeroth law established the concept of thermal equilibrium. The first law, rooted in the principle of energy conservation, addresses the transfer of energy in various forms. The second law pertains to heat flow and established that heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder object to a hotter one. The third law defines the behavior of systems as temperature approaches absolute zero, indicating that all processes cease at this temperature. Thermodynamics branches into various subfields, including classical thermodynamics, equilibrium thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics, and chemical thermodynamics. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of thermodynamics. It presents the complex subject of thermodynamics in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
