It contains the translational, rotational, vibrational, electronic, and nuclear energies and the energies due to intermolecular interactions. Its absolute value is unknown, its change is defined by the first law of thermodynamics. It is a state…
Read more	Introduction to thermodynamics 1.1 What is thermodynamics? Thermodynamics is the science which has evolved from the original investigations in the 19th century into the nature of “heat.” At the time, the leading theory of heat was that it was a type of fluid, which could flow from a hot body to a colder one when they were brought into contact..
Read more	Review of Thermodynamics Equilibrium thermodynamics is the branch of physics which studies the equilibrium properties of bulk matter using macroscopic variables. The strength of the discipline is its ability to derive general relationships based upon a few fundamental postulates and a relatively small amount of empirical …

(In North America the term «furnace» is normally used if the purpose is not actually to boil the fluid.) The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, including water heating, central heating, boiler-based power generation,cooking, and…
