You can look the up, for example in Wikipedia, for a detailed definition. Informally, you can think of them as two "laws of energy":
1) Energy conservation (energy can't be created or destroyed)
2) Usable energy is constantly being converted into unusable energy. This will continue until no more usable energy is left.

What is the name of the field of study with laws that describe how energy is transferred to different locations and forms?
Thermodynamics
Which law of thermodynamics states that the heat engine cannot be completely efficient?
True
What field of study includes several laws that describe how energy transfer works?
Thermodynamics.
Which law of thermodynamics states that when two objects of different temperature are in contact heat energy will flow from the hotter to the cooler object?
newton's 1st law in thermodynamics.....
What is the name of the field of study with laws that describe how much energy is transferred to different locations and forms?
Thermodynamics
Which two laws in the universe govern all processes involving heat and energy?
The first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Is the laws of energy thermodynamics is a part of physics?
Thermodynamics is part of physics.
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 are the thermodynamic laws?
Scientific rules and laws concerning thermodynamics.
Is thermodynamics a law or theory?
Bear in mind that in science, all laws are part of theories. Thermodynamics has 3 laws, and is also a theory.
Two scientists who began the laws of thermodynamics?
Two scientists who are generally thought of as establishing the laws of thermodynamics are French physicist Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot who studied the efficiency of heat engines believing it was the key that could help France win the Napoleonic Wars and Scottish physicist Lord Kelvin who was was the first to formulate a concise definition of thermodynamics in 1854.
What is the name of the field of study with laws that describe how energy is transferred to different locations and forms?
Thermodynamics
Which law of thermodynamics states that the heat engine cannot be completely efficient?
True
Does thermodynamics depend on your ability to do math?
No. The laws of thermodynamics were fully operationallong before anybody knew anything about math.
What are the similarities between laws of thermodynamics and air-conditioner?
The understanding of the laws of thermodynamics (natural phenomena) made it possible for engineers to design and build air conditioners (technological products).
What has the author William Herrick Macaulay written?
William Herrick Macaulay has written: 'The laws of thermodynamics' -- subject(s): Thermodynamics
Will all the chemical reactions are obey thermodynamics law?
No one has yet documented a case where a chemical reaction does not obey the laws of thermodynamics - so - yes - all the chemical reactions will obey the laws of thermodynamics. On a philosophic note: since no exceptions to the theories that constitute thermodynamics have been observed, we consider them "laws". Should we ever find an exception, we will have to modify the theories to craft new rules that will then be considered "laws". That's how science works.
