Thermodynamics
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that studies heat, energy, work, and their transformations, governed by fundamental laws including conservation of energy and the increase of entropy. It underlies the design of engines, refrigeration systems, power plants, and chemical processes, making it foundational knowledge for mechanical and chemical engineers.
