Thermodynamics is a combination of words of the ancient Greek terms "thermo" (warm) and "dynamis" (force). It shows that heat and work are closely linked. This has been the subject of general physics for centuries. After the development and spread of steam engines in the 18th century, the complexity of this interaction has increased significantly and so thermodynamics has become an independent science.
