Thermal dynamics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of heat and temperature in systems. It encompasses the principles of thermodynamics, which include the laws of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and thermal properties of materials. This field is important in understanding how heat is transferred and transformed in various systems, and has applications in various fields such as engineering, chemistry, and environmental science. By studying thermal dynamics, researchers can better understand and predict the behavior of systems under different temperature conditions.
