1. First Law of Thermodynamics: ΔU = Q - W where ΔU is the change in internal energy of a system, Q is the heat added to the system, and W is the work done by the system.
2. Second Law of Thermodynamics: ΔS ≥ Q/T where ΔS is the change in entropy of a system, Q is the heat added to the system, and T is the temperature at which the heat is added.
3. Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature of the gas.
4. Carnot Efficiency: η = 1 - (Tc/Th) where η is the efficiency of a Carnot heat engine, Tc is the temperature of the cold reservoir, and Th is the temperature of the hot reservoir.
5. Entropy Change: ΔS = Qrev/T where ΔS is the change in entropy of a system, Qrev is the reversible heat added to the system, and T is the temperature at which the heat is added.

First Law of Thermodynamics
- Heat capacity at constant volume: Cv - Heat capacity at constant pressure: Cp - Internal energy change: ∆U - Work done: W - Heat transferred: Q
``` ∆U = Q - W ```
Second Law of Thermodynamics
- Clausius statement: Heat cannot flow spontaneously from a colder to a hotter body. - Kelvin statement: It is impossible to construct a heat engine that operates in a cycle and does no net work while absorbing energy from a reservoir at a single temperature.
Entropy
- Entropy: S - Heat transferred at temperature T: Q - Entropy change: ∆S
``` ∆S = Q/T ```
Gibbs Free Energy
- Gibbs free energy: G - Enthalpy: H - Temperature: T - Entropy: S
``` G = H - TS ```
Thermodynamic Properties
- Enthalpy: H = U + PV - Volume: V - Pressure: P - Temperature: T - Specific heat: c - Thermal conductivity: k - Density: ρ - Adiabatic index: γ
Thermodynamic Relations
- Mayer's relation: Cp - Cv = R - Poisson's relation: γ = Cp/Cv - Clapeyron-Clausius equation: dP/dT = ΔHvap/(TVvap) - Stefan-Boltzmann law: P = σT4 - Van der Waals equation: P = (RT/(V - b)) - (a/V2)
Thermodynamic Processes
- Adiabatic: No heat transfer (dQ = 0) - Isothermal: Constant temperature (dT = 0) - Isobaric: Constant pressure (dP = 0) - Isochoric: Constant volume (dV = 0) - Cyclic: Process returns to its initial state
