Thermodynamics is the study of processes involving changes in temperature and transformation of energy[1]. It also is important in describing the relationships between heat and work. It can be used as an engineering tool for describing power and energy systems. There are 2 laws of thermodynamics which relate to whether a system can or cannot occur[2]. Whereby the thermodynamic state of a system is defined by measurable properties sufficient such as: pressure, temperature, density, internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy[3].
