A cup of coffee cools down in a room cooler than it.
but the reverse.. A cup of coffee heating up in a room cooler that it because of heat transfer from the air satisfies the first and violates the second.

∙ 12y agoThere 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.

∙ 11y agoA violation of the first law of thermodynamics would be the creation or destruction of energy. There are no such examples known. Nuclear fusion or nuclear fission both produce energy by transforming matter (which by Einstein's theory of relativity, is concentrated energy).

∙ 7y agoThe 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 deals with conservation of energy
The second law deals with what forms that (conserved) energy may take

Which law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
That law is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. It is also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics.
What law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created or destroyed?
The First Law of Thermodynamics.
What law says that energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed?
It is called the First Law of Thermodynamics, sometimes also called The Law of conservation of energy.
Of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation?
The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.
The first law of thermodynamics is related to the conservation of which quantity?
Yes. There are no known exceptions - otherwise it would not be considered a law
Which law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
That law is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. It is also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Is the arrow of time law of thermodynamics correct?
Yes - it is correct. That is why a violation of the 2nd law has never been observed.
What law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created or destroyed?
The First Law of Thermodynamics.
What law says that energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed?
It is called the First Law of Thermodynamics, sometimes also called The Law of conservation of energy.
What law of thermodynamics states that different forms of energy can be converted into one another?
That's related to the First Law of Thermodynamics - the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation?
The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.
When the law of conversation of energy is applied to heat it is known as the law of thermodynamics?
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 is related to the conservation of which quantity?
Yes. There are no known exceptions - otherwise it would not be considered a law
The fact that usable energy is always lost in an energy transfer is due to what 1 Newton's first law of motion 2 the second law of thermodynamics 3 Newton's second law of motion 4 the first l?
The second law of thermodynamics.
What is universal law of energy?
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.
What is another name for the first law of Thermodynamics?
Law of inertia
Which would mean that the energy in an isolated system would remain constant law of conservation of matter 1st law of thermodynamics second law of thermodynamics or the atomic theory of matter?
The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of an isolated system is constant.
