In summary, thermodynamics is the study of energy and its transformations, with a focus on understanding the behavior of systems and their surroundings. Entropy is a fundamental concept in thermodynamics, representing the measure of disorder or randomness in a system. It helps to explain the direction of processes and the limitations of energy conversion. Causality is also a key principle in thermodynamics, stating that every effect has a specific cause and that energy is conserved in all processes. Other important fundamentals of thermodynamics include the laws of thermodynamics, heat and work, and thermodynamic equilibrium. Overall, exploring the fundamentals of thermodynamics allows for a deeper understanding of the physical world and the processes that govern it.

How did you find PF?
A professor recommended it to me
Hello everyone!

I am physics student doing my bachelors. I am interested in thermodynamics and concepts like entropy and causality. I am hereto find papers, videos or really anything around those topics to expand my knowledge on it.
