This paper presents a comprehensive thermodynamic expansion of the Quantum-Crystalline (QC) medium framework. The standard cosmological interpretation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) as a primordial relic is challenged and replaced with a deterministic hydrodynamic model. Within this framework, the CMB is the equilibrium temperature generated by the Rayleigh dissipation of the expanding viscous vacuum, and its anisotropies are real-time acoustic density ripples. This macroscopic vacuum friction provides a mechanical solution for the anomalous orbital stability of planets despite continuous solar mass loss. Furthermore, it explicitly explains the extreme internal heating of retrograde bodies (Venus, Triton) and the boundary-layer shear heating of gas giants at the magnetopause, versus the thermal deficit of coaxial rotators (Uranus). Finally, critical thermal thresholds and orbital decay rates for Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) and Oort cloud comets are derived, mathematically demonstrating that macroscopic viscous drag against the QC-medium drives the active cryovolcanism observed on planetary bodies such as Pluto and Eris.
