A Review on Thermodynamics and its properties

Shubhaseesh Srivastava

Abstract


Physical chemistry, material science, and many-body physics all have their roots in thermodynamics. Today, the importance of developing novel technologies, including new sources of usable energy, energy storage, transmission, and conversion, is rising quickly. This change has a significant impact on contemporary industry. The area of physics known as thermodynamics studies the interactions amongst heat and other types of energy. It specifically explains how thermal energy interacts with matter and how it transforms into and out of other forms of energy. The primary property of matter that is addressed by thermodynamics, then, is heat. According to Georgia State University, heat is energy that is transmitted between objects or systems as a result of a temperature differential between them (opens in new tab). Heat is a kind of energy which cannot be created or destroyed since it is conserved.

Understanding the performance, stability, and operation of batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells may be done effectively using thermodynamics. An improved level of stability and high capacitance can be achieved by changing the physical properties of the supercapacitor electrode materials with the aid of thermodynamic knowledge. The performance of a fuel cell can also be determined using thermodynamic analysis.
