... internal energy, though sometimes less visible than other changes, must be taken into account to make a proper full accounting of energy transfers and transformations. It is useful to break internal energy up into two parts, thermal energy and nonthermal energy. Thermal energy, loosely speaking, is ...

Thermodynamics
... Statistical physics, to the contrary, uses the microscopic approach to calculate macroscopic quantities that thermodynamics has to take from the experiment. The microscopic approach of the statistical physics is still much less detailed than the full dynamical description based on Newton’s equations ...
