Synopsis

In physics, thermodynamics (from the Greek 真真-<真真真真, therme, meaning "heat" and 真真真�, dynamis, meaning "power") is the study of the conversion of energy into work and heat and its relation to macroscopic variables such as temperature, volume and pressure. Its progenitor, based on statistical predictions of the collective motion of particles from their microscopic behavior, is the field of statistical thermodynamics (or statistical mechanics), a branch of statistical physics. Historically, thermodynamics developed out of need to increase the efficiency of early steam engines.
