Define energy conversion. Compare the properties of systems, state and equilibrium. Define process and cycle. State and explain Zeroth's law of thermodynamics. INTRODUCTION he study of thermodynamics is concerned with the ways energy is stored within a body and how energy transformations, which involve heat and work, may take place. One of the most fundamental laws of nature is the conservation of energy principle. It simply states that during an energy interaction, energy can change from one form to another but the total amount of energy remains constant. That is, energy cannot be created or destroyed. T Did you realize that the work of an engineer is limited unless he has a source of power to drive his machines or tools? However, before such a study can begin, it is necessary to be | KBD/JKM/PUO PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10
