Abstract: Abstract Thermodynamics deals with quantities such as pressure, temperature, internal energy (which will be called energy for short if there is no misunderstanding); thus we can speak of a thermodynamic modelling of such physical systems. At the start, thermodynamics deals with global modelling at a macroscopic level (modelling at zero order), dealing with only global quantities such as the volume of the domain of the system (without its shape), and only one temperature and one pressure. There then appeared a semiglobal modelling for a system with two different parts, each part with a global modelling (volume, temperature, pressure). This leads to many difficult questions about the relations between the two parts and the evolution to an equilibrium.
