-Some names of thermo-Rumford, Davy, Carnot, R.J. Meyer, James Joule-Kelvin/Clausis-thermo theory, Gibbs.

-Thermo-study of macroscopic systems-micro systems include mass, velocity, and KE-marco level includes-temp, vol, pressure, thermoconductivity, viscosity, heat capacity.

-Maxwell-1859-distribution of the speed of molecules in a gas.

-Statistical Mechanics-study of the avg. motion, looks at the distribution an example being Maxwell distrib.

-Kinetic theory-looks at the same thing as the above example but for each molecule per particle, describes the behavior of, and the velocity, mass, mom, KE,-1872 Boltzmann.

-Internal energy of a sys.-system-avg. collection of objects you want to consider, v, pi=mipi, PE, within the sys., internal to the sys. Ignore external f

-Heat transfer-energy is transferred through collisions between their constituent materials.

-Phase Change-New dof or liberation of particles from their entrapment, give the system new physical characteristics, and it has now undergone a phase change-i.e.-melting of ice at 0 degrees C, the added energy goes into liberating h20 molecules form their lattice positions.

-Equilibrium-an isolated system is in equilibrium when the probabilities of it being in various states don’t vary with time.

U-is path dependant- Q and W-are path independent-
