Examples for
Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics studies heat and temperature and how they interact with the energy flow of systems. Use Wolfram|Alpha to explore the consequences of the laws of thermodynamics. Compute properties of ideal gases, examine the evolution of systems under thermodynamic processes and calculate thermodynamic properties of chemical substances. Calculate the specific entropy and enthalpy of substances. Examine the efficiencies of different thermodynamic cycles.
Compute properties of gases using the combined gas law, the ideal gas law, Charles's law and many more equations.
