Classical Thermodynamics Thermodynamics is the connection between heat and work in the universe and the conversion of one to another. ... When my research began I believed that this would mean spending most of my time on the First Law of Thermodynamics, but little did I know that it is the Second Law, with its relation to entropy, that most affects us. In the days long gone, the Second Law of Thermodynamics-which predates the first law-was regarded as perhaps the most perfect and irrefutable law in all of science. ... Therefore the deep impression in which classical thermodynamics made...
