    Lesson1- Laws of Thermodynamics Annette Tyler Laws of Thermodynamics Thermodynamics is the study of energy‚ the conversion of energy to various forms and the ability of energy to do work. The term ‘Thermodynamics’ originate from two root words ‘thermo’ which means heat and ‘dynamic’ which means power. The laws of thermodynamics are absolute and the observable universe obeys the Laws of Thermodynamics. The First Law of Thermodynamics is commonly known as the Law of Conservation of Matter

    The first law of thermodynamics states that a certain energy balance will hold when a system undergoes a change of state or a thermodynamic process. But it does not indicate whether that change of state or the process is at all feasible or not. It is the second law of thermodynamics which provides the criterion as to the probability of various processes through the statements of Clausius that ‘’Heat does not pass from a body at low temperature to one at high temperature without an accompanying change

    The Second law of thermodynamics There are four laws of thermodynamics‚ which define temperature‚ energy and entropy‚ characterizing thermodynamic systems. To understand the second law of thermodynamics we should know that on a basic level it explains the “catch twenty-twos” to the first law of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can never be created nor destroyed‚ only transferred to another form of energy. The second law states that some processes do not take place

    of chemicals‚ explosions‚ experiments‚ etc. What we don’t really see is how science is related to any sport. The use of these science laws plays a big part in the way sports are played. Newtown’s laws of motion and the laws of thermodynamics set great examples in a tennis match to help us gain more knowledge in how they’re being used on earth. Newtown’s first law of motion is when force is being applied. If an object is left by itself it won’t move or change its state of motion. Unless the object

    Identify Laws of Motion and Thermodynamics The first example is oscillating a pendulum‚ which is categorized in the law of motion due to the object remaining in that state unless an external force is applied. The second example stating cooling food and drinks in a refrigerator is categorized in the laws of Thermodynamics due to thermalization. The third example of using the coffeemaker can be a combination of both laws due to moving touching to coffeemaker to make create an action is Law of Motion

    Another industry related to the second law of thermodynamics is the air-conditioner. As the weather in this country‚ Malaysia is always hot and humid‚ air-conditioners are used to cool down the surrounding inside the house. In fact‚ the concept of air-conditioner is one of the applications of the second law of thermodynamics which stated that for any process occurring in a closed system‚ the entropy increases for an irreversible system and remains constant for a reversible system‚ but never decreases

    Corollary 1: The clausius statement of second law of thermodynamics is the first corollary i.e. ‘It is impossible to construct a device operating in a closed cycle that performs no effect other than the transfer of heat from a cooler body to a hotter body.’ The mathematical statement of which is given by; Q1‐Q2=W Q1 W Q2 Corollary 2: It is impossible to construct an engine operating between only two heat reservoirs‚ which will have a higher efficiency than a reversible heat engine operating between

    established principle of thermodynamics (which eventually became the Second Law) was formulated by Sadi Carnot in 1824. By 1860‚ as found in the works of those such as Rudolf Clausius and William Thomson‚ there were two established "principles" of thermodynamics‚ the first principle and the second principle. As the years passed‚ these principles turned into "laws." By 1873‚ for example‚ thermodynamicist Josiah Willard Gibbs‚ in his “Graphical Methods in the Thermodynamics of Fluids”‚ clearly stated
