  Thermodynamics
Thermodynamic parameters The parameters used to describe the state of a system generally depend on the exact system under consideration, and the conditions under which that system is maintained.
However, the dependence of any one of these four thermodynamic potentials cannot be expressed in terms of the thermodynamic parameters of the system without knowledge of the interaction potentials between system components, the quantum energy levels and their corresponding degeneracies, or the partition function of the system under study.
While this is a fundamental concept of thermodynamics, the need to state it explicitly as a law was not perceived until the first third of the 20th century, long after the first three laws were already widely in use, hence the zero numbering.

 Thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The state of a thermodynamic system is specified by a number of extensive quantities, the most familiar of which are volume, internal energy, and the amount of each constituent particle (particle numbers).
The thermodynamic parameters may now be thought of as variables and the state may be thought of as a particular point in a space of thermodynamic parameters.
The equation may be seen as a particular case of the chain rule.

The equation of state for the atmosphere, which is an infinite series involving the density, pressure, temperature, and the humidity of a given air mass.
In addition, these equations introduce no new unknown quantities into the problem, because the energy and entropy express themselves through the same transformations that are found in the equations of state, and tie the changes in these variables with the changes of other known quantities.
Of the seven unknowns, one can be eliminated with the help of the equation of state, and the solution then becomes one of the integration of a system of six partial differential equations with six unknowns and initial values obtained from observations of the beginning atmospheric conditions.

 Myswizard » Laws of thermodynamics
The laws of thermodynamics in principle describe the specifics for the transport of heat and work in thermodynamic processes.
The increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of energy added by heating the system, minus the amount lost as a result of the work done by the system on its surroundings.
The laws of thermodynamics are sometimes interpreted to have a wider significance and implication than simply encoding the experimental results upon which the science of thermodynamics is based.
