Feedwater Heating Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary The subject of thermodynamics is related to the use of thermal energy or heat to produce dynamic forces or work. Heat, energy and work are all measured in the same ©Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS) THERMAL POWER PLANTS – Vol. I - Thermodynamic Theory - R.A. Chaplin units but are not equivalent to one another. Conservation of energy indicates that one can be converted into another without loss. All work can be converted into heat by frictio
