What are Thermodynamic Processes?

A thermodynamic process involves a change from one type of equilibrium microstate to another type of system. The process can be interpreted by the initial and final states of the system. 

• Temperature pressure, energy, and volume of the system have to be considered as parameters for the initial state. After the completion of the time for which we are observing the system, we can measure the same parameters to figure out the final state of the system. 
• Usually, these changes are governed by energy transfer which leads to work done on the system or by the system. 
• An example of a thermodynamics process is increasing the pressure of gas in a container where the temperature is constant.
