Thermodynaaminen
Thermodynaaminen is the Finnish terminology for thermodynamics, the branch of physics that studies the relationships between heat, work, temperature, and energy. The discipline originated in the mid‑nineteenth century, largely through the work of scientists such as Sadi Carnot, Rudolf Clausius, and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin). Their investigations into heat engines led to the fundamental laws that govern energy transformations in both natural and engineered systems.
The first law of thermodynamics, or the law of energy conservation, states that the internal energy of
Thermodynaaminen encompasses a wide range of applications. In engineering, it informs the design of engines, refrigerators,
Modern research in thermodynamics investigates non‑equilibrium systems, finite‑time thermodynamics, and the fundamental limits of information processing.
