The origin and meaning of the word “
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:
The term thermodynamics means heat movement or heat flow.
Explanation of Solution
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy. The word “thermodynamic” is derived from two Greek words thermes, meaning heat, and dynamikos, meaning powerful. Here the word dynamic means transfer of energy or heat flow “Thermodynamics” is the study of heat and its transformation into different forms of energy.
Conclusion:
The term thermodynamics means heat movement or heat flow.
