Abstract
In thermodynamics a so-called fundamental problem does not exist because the distinction between source and configuration variables need not be introduced. For these reasons the diagrams of thermodynamics differ from the usual diagrams of this book.

We use the calligraphic letter \(\mathcal{V}\) to avoid confusion with the control volume V of the spatial description. See pp. 21 and 92.
- 3.
We know that heat and work are two forms of energy flow. Thus, the use of the term heat flow is equivalent to flow of energy flow. This is incorrect because in this expression the term flow is repeated: heat is already a flow!

See p. 3 for a critique of the term flux in this context.
