There are no real processes that violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics. You could describe a process where a block of steel at 0 °C is placed on top of a block of steel of equal size at 400 °C and the cold steel drops to -10 °C while the hot block rises to 410 °C. That would satisfy the 1st law and violate the 2nd law - but experience tells us it will never, ever, ever happen.
The second law of thermodynamics is known as a "law" because there are no known situations that would violate the second law of thermodynamics. If heat were to spontaneously move from a cold system to a warm system without any outside actions or if a gas were to spontaneously compress itself (like all the air in a room deciding to move to one corner, leaving the rest of the room as a vacuum) that would violate the second law. No one has ever observed either, nor have they ever observed any other violations of the law. A few con-artists and crackpots have claimed to have devices that violate the law, but none have actually demonstrated any real devices that work as claimed.
The first law of thermodynamics is also known as the Law of Energy Conservation.
The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another.
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system; it can only change forms. This law is also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy.
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. This is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.
Another name for the first law of thermodynamics is the law of energy conservation.
Yes - it is correct. That is why a violation of the 2nd law has never been observed.
The first law of thermodynamics is also known as the Law of Energy Conservation.
That's related to the First Law of Thermodynamics - the Law of Conservation of Energy.
The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another.
Not exactly. The first law of thermodynamics, i.e. the law of conservation of energy, also accounts for heat as one of the many forms that energy can take. There is no one law called "the law of thermodynamics", but there are several "Laws of Thermodynamics" (note the plural form "LAWS").
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system; it can only change forms. This law is also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy.
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. This is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.
Another name for the first law of thermodynamics is the law of energy conservation.
There is no commonly accepted law by that name, as far as I know. Two important laws about energy are the First Law of Thermodynamics and the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
The first law of thermodynamics is related to the conservation of energy. It states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another.
Another name for the Law of Conservation of Energy is the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
zeroth law forms the basis for first law of thermodynamics
