1) In general, the second laws states that all energy in the universe will head towards its lowest state. Another way of stating it is "the universe will tend towards maximum entropy" or "heat cannot of itself flow from a colder body to a warmer body."
2) All systems try to achieve a state of minimum energy and maximum randomness. any amt. of work can be converted to heat. but heat can only partially be converted to work.
There are four laws of thermodynamics Zeroth, First, Second and Third. Second law is based on the conservation of energy. According to the second law of thermodynamics the entropy of an isolated system that is not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium.

The entropy of the universe is increasing
There are three laws of thermodynamics, not inlcluding the understood fourth law. Thermodynamics is the study of how energy is transferred in a system.
The first law of thermodynamic show that heat transfer is equal to work.But he does not give the direction as that system is consuming work or doing work. Whereas the second law of thermodynamic give the direction as (1) Heat can flow naturally from high temperature to low temperature.When heat is flowing from high temperature to low temperature he can produce work.(2)Heat can not flow naturally from low temperature to high temperature.for flowing heat from low temperature to high temperature he consume work. Second law of thermodynamic not only give the direction of heat flow but he also show entropy and quality of energy as high grade energy (mechanical work ) and low grade energy (heat).
Yes, the second law of thermodynamic favours maximum randomness. So even a non-polar molecule finds some dispersion in a polar solution.
Thermodynamic cycle is based on 2nd law of thermodynamics.

zeroth law forms the basis for first law of thermodynamics
The entropy of the universe is increasing
the law of increasing costs

Energy remains constant.
it calculates the heat from inatial - the final.

The heat supplied to a system can increase its internal energy if no work is extracted from the system. If any work is done by the system, then the increase in internal energy will be less than the heat supplied to the system. The thermodynamic variable defined by the zeroeth law is Temperature.
