Introduction to thermodynamics

Dynamics denotes only the matter about the mechanical work which is done by some force externally.
Thermodynamics denotes the inter-relation between the heat and the mechanical work. This subject has different parameters to identify characterstics of the matter when it undergoes some heat.
In case of dynamics we studied the parameters such as force, inertia, momentum, work and energy, meanwhile in case of thermodynamics we studied internal state of a system with the help of the variables such as pressure, volume, temperature, entropy and internal energy.
Like three Newton's laws of motion in dynamics, we have also three laws of thermodynamics in thermodynamics.
we have different characterstics such as conduction, convection and radiation of heat and also black body characterstics. These properties will be discussed in further articles.
