What are the surface energy and work function at room temperature (25C), 250C and 300C for the following metal sheets of 10 mil each. Niobium, Tungsten, Tantalum, Rhenium, Ruthenium, Platinum, Aluminum, Stainless Steel (304, 316) . Surface energy is sometimes referred to surface tension. Work Function is a math extension of the surface tension and apparently refers to surface energy. There appears to be a lack of uniform definitions in the academic field regarding each of these definitions. Please clarify if possible.

First law of Thermodynamics

The word thermodynamics consists of two words: thermo- and dynamics. Dynamics means the study of motion. The field of thermodynamics is all about the study of the movement of heat. In a more meaningful way, it is stated as the study of the transfer of energy. Energy transfer is something that we encounter in day-to-day life. Automobiles, chemical reactions, refrigerators, and power generators work on the basis of thermodynamic principles.
