Chapter 15 Laws of Thermodynamics. Thermodynamics Study processes where energy is transferred as heat, work Study processes where energy is transferred.
Heat and Internal Energy Internal Energy U is the total energy associated with the microscopic components of the system –Includes kinetic and potential.
THE ZEROTH LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other. Example:
