<ul>
<li><strong>System:</strong> A quantity of matter or a region in space
chosen for study.</li>
<li><strong>Surroundings:</strong> Everything outside the system.</li>
<li><strong>Universe:</strong> The system plus its surroundings.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Types of System</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Open System:</strong> Mass and energy can transfer across
the boundary.</li>
<li><strong>Closed System:</strong> Only energy can transfer; mass
remains constant.</li>
<li><strong>Isolated System:</strong> Neither mass nor energy can
transfer.</li>
<li><strong>Adiabatic System:</strong> A system where no heat transfer
occurs.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Properties</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Intensive Properties:</strong> Properties that are
independent of the amount of matter, such as temperature and pressure.</li>
<li><strong>Extensive Properties:</strong> Properties that depend on
the amount of matter, such as volume and mass.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Quasi-static Process</h3>
<p>A quasi-static process occurs infinitely slowly so that the system
remains in equilibrium at all times. This ensures that the process is reversible
and can be accurately analyzed.</p>
<h3>Temperature</h3>
<p>Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles
in a system. It determines the direction of heat transfer between systems.</p>
<h3>Pressure</h3>
<p>Pressure is the force exerted per unit area on the surface of an object.
It is a measure of the energy due to molecular collisions within a fluid or
gas.</p>
<h3>Ideal Gas</h3>
<p>An ideal gas is a hypothetical gas whose molecules occupy negligible
space and have no interactions with each other. The behavior of an ideal gas is
described by the ideal gas law, PV=nRT.</p>
<h3>Real Gas</h3>
<p>A real gas is a gas that does not behave as an ideal gas due to
interactions between molecules and the finite volume occupied by them. Real gases
deviate from ideal behavior at high pressures and low temperatures.</p>
<h3>Energy Transfer</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Work Transfer:</strong> The energy transfer associated with
a force acting through a distance, such as a piston compressing a gas.</li>
<li><strong>Heat Transfer:</strong> The energy transfer due to a
temperature difference, flowing from a hotter body to a cooler one.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Specific Heat</h3>
<p>Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of
one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. It is an intrinsic property that
varies with the substance.</p>
<h3>Heat Engine</h3>
<p>A heat engine is a device that converts thermal energy into mechanical
work by exploiting temperature differences. It typically operates in cycles,
absorbing heat from a high-temperature source, converting part of it to work, and
rejecting the remaining heat to a low-temperature sink.</p>
<h3>Heat Pump</h3>
<p>A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from a colder area to a
hotter area by consuming work. It is used for heating purposes, effectively moving
thermal energy against the natural direction of heat flow.</p>
<h3>Refrigerator</h3>
<p>A refrigerator is a device that transfers heat from a low-temperature
reservoir to a high-temperature reservoir by consuming work. It is used for cooling
purposes, maintaining a temperature lower than the surroundings.</p>
<h3>Carnot Cycle</h3>
<p>The Carnot cycle is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle that represents
the most efficient cycle possible. It consists of two isothermal processes and two
adiabatic processes, serving as an idealized model for heat engines.</p>
<h3>Entropy</h3>
<p>Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. It
quantifies the amount of energy in a system that is unavailable for doing work and
increases in irreversible processes.</p>

liquid, causing it to behave as if its surface is covered with a stretched elastic
membrane.</p>
