words only definitions & notes
  1. thermodynamic
    of or concerned with thermodynamics
    Thermodynamics is the study of the connection between heat and work and the conversion of one into the other.
  2. automobile engine
    the engine that propels an automobile
    This study is important because many machines and modern devices change heat into work (such as an automobile engine) or turn work into heat (or cooling, as in a refrigerator).
  3. law of thermodynamics
    (physics) a law governing the relations between states of energy in a closed system
    There are two laws of thermodynamics that explain the connection between work and heat.
  4. heat energy
    a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature
    But first, it must be shown how mechanical energy can be equivalent to heat energy.
  5. thermodynamics
    physics concerned with heat and other forms of energy
    Thermodynamics is the study of the connection between heat and work and the conversion of one into the other.
  6. mechanical energy
    energy in a mechanical form
    But first, it must be shown how mechanical energy can be equivalent to heat energy.
  7. refrigerator
    appliance in which food can be stored at low temperatures
    This study is important because many machines and modern devices change heat into work (such as an automobile engine) or turn work into heat (or cooling, as in a refrigerator).
  8. cooling
    the process of becoming cooler; a falling temperature
    This study is important because many machines and modern devices change heat into work (such as an automobile engine) or turn work into heat (or cooling, as in a refrigerator).
  9. heat
    a form of energy transferred by a difference in temperature
    Thermodynamics is the study of the connection between heat and work and the conversion of one into the other.
  10. automobile
    a motor vehicle with four wheels
    This study is important because many machines and modern devices change heat into work (such as an automobile engine) or turn work into heat (or cooling, as in a refrigerator).
  11. conversion
    the act of changing from one use or function to another
    Thermodynamics is the study of the connection between heat and work and the conversion of one into the other.
  12. devices
    an inclination or desire
    This study is important because many machines and modern devices change heat into work (such as an automobile engine) or turn work into heat (or cooling, as in a refrigerator).
  13. energy
    forceful exertion
    But first, it must be shown how mechanical energy can be equivalent to heat energy.
  14. mechanical
    using tools or devices
    But first, it must be shown how mechanical energy can be equivalent to heat energy.
  15. equivalent
    being essentially comparable to something
    But first, it must be shown how mechanical energy can be equivalent to heat energy.
  16. connection
    a relation between things or events
    Thermodynamics is the study of the connection between heat and work and the conversion of one into the other.
  17. device
    an instrumentality invented for a particular purpose
    This study is important because many machines and modern devices change heat into work (such as an automobile engine) or turn work into heat (or cooling, as in a refrigerator).
  18. engine
    motor that converts energy into work or motion
    This study is important because many machines and modern devices change heat into work (such as an automobile engine) or turn work into heat (or cooling, as in a refrigerator).
  19. study
    applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject
    Thermodynamics is the study of the connection between heat and work and the conversion of one into the other.
  20. machine
    a mechanical or electrical device that transmits energy
    This study is important because many machines and modern devices change heat into work (such as an automobile engine) or turn work into heat (or cooling, as in a refrigerator).
  21. explain
    make plain and comprehensible
    There are two laws of thermodynamics that explain the connection between work and heat.
  22. work
    activity directed toward making or doing something
    Thermodynamics is the study of the connection between heat and work and the conversion of one into the other.
  23. important
    significant in effect or meaning
    This study is important because many machines and modern devices change heat into work (such as an automobile engine) or turn work into heat (or cooling, as in a refrigerator).
  24. change
    become different in some particular way
    This study is important because many machines and modern devices change heat into work (such as an automobile engine) or turn work into heat (or cooling, as in a refrigerator).
  25. law
    the collection of rules imposed by authority
    There are two laws of thermodynamics that explain the connection between work and heat.
