Thermodynamics Paper

The students will write a research paper on the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. This paper should include: what the first and second laws are, the 4 types of thermodynamic processes and how they relate to the first law (and which processes do Work), perpetual motion machines and how they relate to the second law, one implication of each law, one way each law impacts your everyday life, and a bibliography .
