In science, mechanics is the study of the interactions between matter and the forces acting on it. [1]

Thermodynamics
It should be noted that the expanded name of thermodynamics is "mechanische wärmetheorie" (German) or mechanical theory of heat (English), in the original 1865 terminology of German physicist Rudolf Clausius, the central founder of the subject, meaning that thermodynamics loosely translates as the study of the interactions between matter in relation to particularly the forces of heat acting on matter.
