This document provides an overview of thermodynamics concepts including:
1. It defines a thermodynamic system and explains that a system can exchange mass, energy, or both with its surroundings.
2. It describes internal energy as the total kinetic and potential energy in a system and explains the first law of thermodynamics that the change in internal energy equals heat added minus work done.
3. Several examples of thermodynamic processes are provided like isobaric, isochoric, and adiabatic processes and the applications of the first law of thermodynamics are discussed.
