Thermodynamics deals with study of energy flow, and behaviour of matter. It can be broadly classified as :-
There are other classifications also like ,
1. Thermodynamics of non Reactive System
2. Thermodynamics of Reactive Systems
In the subsequent lecture notes, we will be concerned with Classical Thermodynamics only.
- Classical Thermodynamics(i.e. Macroscopic) :- It is based on the 3 laws of Thermodynamics, and we are not concerned with movement of particles and treat the medium as a continuum.
- Statistical Thermodynamics :- It is based on Kinetic Law of Gases, considering individual particles and arrives at a macroscopic relation.
- Irreversible Thermodynamics :- As the name suggests it deals with the thermodynamics of Irreversible reactions
There are other classifications also like ,
1. Thermodynamics of non Reactive System
2. Thermodynamics of Reactive Systems
