What is thermodynamics? Wikipedia:Thermodynamics is the science of energy conversion involving heat and other forms of energy,most notably mechanical work. Ours:Thermodynamics therme(heat)+dynamis(power) natural extension of the "mechanical world dynamics"to applications involving temperature effects. Science and engineering on most efficient conversion of energy and heat into useful work recognizing we have finite resources (total energy)at our disposal;Impact on environment (soil,water,air-local,state,country, earth)and society.
