Abstract
Macroscopic thermodynamics deals with “energy” and materials stocked in and exchanged by the system. The system can be surrounded by environment(s) and external system(s). When the exchange of energy or materials takes place, several important constraints, i.e., the laws of thermodynamics are imposed. Thermodynamics allows for different point of views: view from the system, from the external system, or from the environment. Thermodynamics is also relevant for the study of (free) energy conversion, the thermal analysis of chemical reactions and phase transitions.
