Introduction: Thermodynamics is the study of energy and its transformations that drives all activities of the universe. The system that does not exchange energy with its surroundings is known as a closed system. The system that exchanges energy with its surroundings is known as an open system. There are two laws of thermodynamics, namely: the first law and the second law.
