Thermodynamic processes refer to the changes in a system's energy and temperature as it interacts with its surroundings. These processes can be classified into different types, such as isothermal, where temperature remains constant, and adiabatic, where no heat is exchanged with the environment. Understanding these processes helps us analyze how energy flows and transforms in various systems, from engines to refrigerators. In everyday life, thermodynamic processes are at work in many familiar situations. For example, when boiling water, the heat energy increases the water's temperature until it reaches its boiling point, demonstrating an endothermic process. Conversely, when ice melts, it absorbs heat from its surroundings, showcasing another aspect of thermodynamics in action.
