Thermodynamics
The Basics of Thermodynamics: Understanding Energy and Work Thermodynamics is a fundamental branch of physics that explores the principles governing energy, heat, and work. It’s a field that not only explains the behavior of gases and the efficiency of engines but also underpins much of our understanding of the physical world. Whether you’re an aspiring…

Free Energy and Thermodynamics
Free energy does not contradict the laws of thermodynamics; instead, it works within the framework provided by these laws. Free energy, specifically Gibbs free energy (G) and Helmholtz free energy (A), are thermodynamic potentials that help predict the direction of spontaneous processes and the maximum work obtainable from a system. Here’s how free energy aligns…
