5. The words given in A are mentioned in the text “Thermodynamics” Find their definitions in B and translate these words into Russian.
| Thermodynamics | It is themeasure of hotness or coldness expressed in terms of any of several arbitrary scales and indicating the direction in which heat energy will spontaneously flow |
| Heat | It is a measure of the ability of a substance to conduct heat, determined by the rate of heat flow normally through an area in the substance divided by the area and by minus the component of the temperature gradient in the direction of flow |
| Work | Serious, important, having meaning |
| Temperature | State a fact or a belief forcefully |
| Energy | Form of energy transferred between two bodies as a result of a difference in their temperatures |
| Entropy | Obtain (a substance) from something by a special method |
| Thermal conductivity | Give or receive one thing in place of another |
| Diffusion | The property of fluids by virtue of which they offer a resistance to flow |
| Meaningful | Without end, limit or boundary |
| To assert | The property of a system that is a measure of its capacity for doing work |
| To exchange | Change the form , character or function of something |
| To extract | The process by which fluids and solids mix intimately with one another due to the kinetic motions of the particles |
| Limitless | It is a measure of the number of specific ways in which a thermodynamic system may be arranged, often taken to be a measure of disorder, or a measure of progressing towards thermodynamic equilibrium |
| Viscosity | It is done when a force moves its point of application |
| To convert | science of the relationship between heat, work, temperature, and energy |
