There are two classes of processes involved: Quasi-equilibrium or reversible processes, and non-equilibirium or irreversible processes. Classical thermodynamics is involved chiefly with the first of these. |
|
The first law of thermodynamics can be stated as:
Q (heat)
W (Work).
Delta E = Q + W.
The second law of thermodynamics can be stated as
Delta S (isolated system) > 0.
