Essentially, thermodynamics can be defined as the study of energy.
Granted, this is a pretty broad definition, which suits it well, because
thermodynamics is fundamentally a broad topic. The word
thermodynamics always seems to crop up whenever matter and
energy interact. The foundation of thermodynamics rests in a few basic
concepts. The First Law of Thermodynamics is a simple expression of
the conservation of energy principle. Energy may transfer from one
form to another, but in such a way that the total energy at any instant
always remains constant. The second law is a restriction of the first
law, telling us whether or not a process is actually possible in the real
world. The condition of a thermodynamic system described by its
properties (temperature, pressure, etc.) is defined as its state. At a
given state, all properties of a system have fixed values. In an
equilibrium state there are no unbalanced potentials within the system
(e.g. the driving potential for heat flow is temperature difference).

Sistem propulsi water jet
Sebenarnya sistem propulsi water jet telah lama dikenal dan digunakan
sebagai sistem penggerak untuk berbagai jenis kapal. Aplikasi dari
sistem propulsi water jet ini sering dijumpai terutama untuk kapalkapal yang dirancang berkecepatan tinggi. Adapun beberapa
keistimewaan yang dimiliki oleh sistem propulsi water jet adalah,
sebagai berikut:
- dengan tidak terdapatnya propeller dan kemudi diluar kapal,
sehingga tidak terjadi obyek-obyek yang dapat memperbesar
tahanan total kapal;
- sangat memungkinkan untuk dioperasikan di perairan yang tidak
dalam;
- mempunyai kemampuan akselerasi yang baik.
