Thermodynamic Property is a measurable characteristic of the system.
To get the status of any process of the system, one should have at least two properties at hand. Thus to define the state of a system, we must know the information about different thermodynamics properties.

One can classify the general properties in the following ways.
1. Primitive Properties (which are taken from other branches of the science)
- Pressure, P
- Velocity, v
- Volume, V
2. Basic Thermodynamic Properties (which are defined by the laws of thermodynamics)
- Temperature, T (defined by the zeroth law of the Thermodynamics)
- Internal Energy, U (defined by the first law of Thermodynamics)
- Entropy, S (defined by the second law of Thermodynamics)
3. Derived Thermodynamic Properties (Combination of various other properties defined earlier)
- Enthalpy ( U + P.V)
- Gibbs Energy (U + PV-TS)
- Specific Heat at Constant Pressure, Cp
- Specific Heat at Constant Volume, Cv
