Difference between Conservation of energy and Thermodynamics

Conservation of energy vs. Thermodynamics

In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant, it is said to be ''conserved'' over time. Thermodynamics is the branch of physics concerned with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.

Similarities between Conservation of energy and Thermodynamics

Conservation of energy and Thermodynamics have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Energy, Entropy, Heat, Internal energy, James Prescott Joule, Laws of thermodynamics, Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, Pressure, Quantum mechanics, Second law of thermodynamics, Temperature, William John Macquorn Rankine, Work (physics), Work (thermodynamics).

Energy

In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object.

Entropy

In statistical mechanics, entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic system.

Heat

In thermodynamics, heat is energy transferred from one system to another as a result of thermal interactions.

Internal energy

In thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system is the energy contained within the system, excluding the kinetic energy of motion of the system as a whole and the potential energy of the system as a whole due to external force fields.

Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot

Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot (1 June 1796 – 24 August 1832) was a French military engineer and physicist, often described as the "father of thermodynamics".

Pressure

Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics, quantum theory, the wave mechanical model, or matrix mechanics), including quantum field theory, is a fundamental theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles.

William John Macquorn Rankine

Prof William John Macquorn Rankine LLD (5 July 1820 – 24 December 1872) was a Scottish mechanical engineer who also contributed to civil engineering, physics and mathematics.

Work (physics)

In physics, a force is said to do work if, when acting, there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force.

Work (thermodynamics)

In thermodynamics, work performed by a system is the energy transferred by the system to its surroundings, that is fully accounted for solely by macroscopic forces exerted on the system by factors external to it, that is to say, factors in its surroundings.

Conservation of energy and Thermodynamics Comparison

Conservation of energy has 138 relations, while Thermodynamics has 145. As they have in common 14, the Jaccard index is 4.95% = 14 / (138 + 145).
