Restatement of the second Law of Thermodynamics

In natural process, high-quality energy tends to transform into lower quality energy order tends to disorder.

Air temperature rises (or falls) as pressure increases (or decreases).

In the adiabatic form, the first law of thermodynamics becomes...

Heat added to system.

Increase in internal energy+work done by system=

Work done on/by system.

Increase/Decrease in internal energy=

We can expect an increase in internal energy, i.e. temperature rise.

Instead of adding heat, if we do mechanical work on a system...

Adiabatic conditions

It's achieved by thermally insulting a system from its surroundings, or performing the process so rapidly that heat has no time to enter or leave.

Heat Engine

It's any device that converts internal energy into mechanical work.

Absolute Zero

Lowest limit of temperature; Molecules have lost all available kinetic energy.

Concentrating and organizing energy from food sources.

Net occurs in living organisms, which survive by...

Changes in internal energy of a substance.

Our study focuses not on the internal energy per se, but rather on the...

Heat itself never spontaneously flows from a cold object to a hot substance.

Second Law of Thermodynamics

Temperature Inversion

Sometimes cooler air occurs at an altitude lower than warmer air...

Probabilistic Statement.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is a...

The foundation stones of thermodynamics

The conservation of energy and the fact that heat flows spontaneously from hot to cold and not the other way around.

The Statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

When work is done by a heat engine operating between two temperatures T Hot and T Cold, only some of the input heat at T Hot can be converted to work and the rest is expelled at T cold.
