Equilibrium Thermodynamics C. J. Adkins
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

When your friend does not pay attention, it results in an 'exothermic reaction'! Classical thermodynamics places primary emphasis on equilibrium states and changes from one equilibrium state to another. Book_cover_big.gif Classical thermodynamics, the dynamics of Carnot, Clausius, Boltzmann, Gibbs, Joule, Kelvin and Helmholtz, is often also called equilibrium thermodynamics. Obviously, the universe as we see it is not in thermal equilibrium, all the interesting stuff we see are local fluctuations. Thus, the concept of equilibrium is fundamental. Principle states that in steady-state non-equilibrium systems the entropy generation rate is at a minimum, i.e., a system will seek a steady-state that has min entropy generation. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of the universe tends to increase with time.

She would say,”When you are caught doing something wrong, there is an 'endothermic reaction'.
