文法句型

thermodynamic + noun (law, system, process, cycle)

用法筆記

Mostly used before a noun in scientific writing, textbooks, and lab discussions, especially with words such as law, system, process, cycle, and equilibrium. Unlike thermal, it does not simply mean 'related to heat' in a general way; it points to the physical rules governing how heat and energy change within a system.
