Everything about Classical Thermodynamics totally explained
Classical thermodynamics is a branch of
physics developed in the nineteenth century, by
Sadi Carnot (1824),
Emile Clapeyron (1834),
Rudolf Clausius (1850),
Willard Gibbs (1876),
Hermann von Helmholtz (1882), and others that studied
heat and
work and their relation to the collision and interaction of particles in large, near-equilibrium systems.
The term
classical thermodynamics is used in distinction to
statistical thermodynamics, which came to be pioneered from the
1860s onwards. Statistical thermodynamics analyses thermodynamic properties by relating them to molecular-level models of microscopic behaviour in the
thermodynamic system. In contrast, classical thermodynamics analyses what can be deduced solely from the
macroscopic properties of the system and the
laws of thermodynamics, regardless of microscopic interpretation.
