This lecture covers the thermodynamics of simple subsystems, discussing concepts such as systems, states, evolution, and actions within the framework of thermodynamics. Topics include thermal equilibrium, entropy production rates, and the laws governing heat and material transfers between subsystems. The lecture also delves into the principles of mechanical equilibrium, energy internal derivatives, and the conditions for equilibrium in various thermodynamic processes.
