The first and second law of thermodynamics are the most fundamental equations of thermodynamics. They may be combined into what is known as fundamental thermodynamic relation which describes all of the changes of thermodynamic state functions of a system of uniform temperature and pressure.
0.1–1 TK at new neutron star; 0.5–1.2 TK, Fermi melting point of hadrons into quark–gluon plasma; 3–5 TK in proton–antiproton reactions; 3.6 TK, temperature at which matter doubles in mass (compared to its mass at 0 K) due to relativistic effects
A thermodynamic potential (or more accurately, a thermodynamic potential energy) [1] [2] is a scalar quantity used to represent the thermodynamic state of a system.Just as in mechanics, where potential energy is defined as capacity to do work, similarly different potentials have different meanings.
The first law of thermodynamics is essentially a definition of heat, i.e. heat is the change in the internal energy of a system that is not caused by a change of the external parameters of the system. However, the second law of thermodynamics is not a defining relation for the entropy.
Thermodynamic databases contain information about thermodynamic properties for substances, the most important being enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy.Numerical values of these thermodynamic properties are collected as tables or are calculated from thermodynamic datafiles.
