Thermodynamics FAQ

Ask Us Anything

Dear Thermodynamicians,

We're happy to help with any questions you have about thermodynamics. However, we must warn you: our answers may cause spontaneous combustion in some cases. Prolonged exposure to our responses has been known to melt the minds of some users.

Q: What is thermodynamics?

A: Ah, you want to know the secrets of the universe? Well, it's simple really. Thermodynamics is just a fancy way of saying "hot things move around and sometimes make a mess."

Q: Can I really get away with just using a refrigerator to cool things down?

A: Ha! You think a fridge is just a magic box that keeps things cool? Think again. You'll need to get your hands on some serious heat transfer tech if you want to keep up with the Jones' (or should we say, the Joules?) of thermodynamics.

Q: Why do I always get a headache when I'm trying to study thermodynamics?

A: That's not a headache, my friend. That's just the laws of thermodynamics conspiring against you. You might need to re-heat your notes or, better yet, re-cast your entire understanding of the subject.
