energetics
Study of transformations
Energetics is the branch of physics dealing with energy and its transformations.
In biology, it refers to the study of how organisms obtain, convert, and use energy: the energetics of bird migration, cellular energetics.
The term also appears in chemistry and engineering contexts where energy flows and efficiency are central concerns.
