jriggenbach Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 "Thermodynamics is a physical science that studies the effects on material bodies, and on radiation in regions of space, of transfer of heat and of work done on or by the bodies or radiation. It interrelates macroscopic variables, such as temperature, volume and pressure, which describe physical properties of material bodies and radiation, which in this science are called thermodynamic systems."

Philip Coates Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Maybe Jeff is responding to the fart jokes cleverly inserted by the Wikipedia editors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it just keeps getting funnier!http://en.wikipedia..../ThermodynamicsJRIs this a "closed" system joke?Welcome to OL.Not at all, this is just JR pointing out that my selection of humor for the Redford article was ...well ...stupid on my part. And, he was correct. JR will, with acerbic satire, constructively criticize an error like I made. Have you read much of Rand?
