The second law does not allow complete conversion of heat into work.
Those would basically be the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. The First Law (energy conservation) states that the total energy can not be increased or decreased. The Second Law imposes some limitations about what conversions are possible.
"Unavailable for doing work" is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
The principle you are referring to is the second law of thermodynamics, which states that in any energy conversion process, some energy is lost as waste heat, resulting in a decrease in the overall usefulness of the energy.
The second law of thermodynamics states that not all heat energy can be converted into work. Some heat will always be lost in the form of waste heat during energy conversion processes. This law is a fundamental principle that governs the efficiency of energy conversion systems.

Second Law of Thermodynamics
Those would basically be the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. The First Law (energy conservation) states that the total energy can not be increased or decreased. The Second Law imposes some limitations about what conversions are possible.
The fact that usable energy is always lost in an energy transfer is due to the second law of thermodynamics. This law states that entropy, or disorder, tends to increase over time in a closed system, leading to the loss of usable energy in the form of heat.
True
1) Any physical process is subject to the Second Law. Assuming otherwise would not be a realistic description of our Universe. 2) The maximum possible efficiency is a factor of 1 (equivalent to 100%). If some energy is wasted, as is usually the case, the actual amount will be somewhat less.
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.
Second law of thermodynamics used for prove of process reversibility, it provide the concept of system loss capability to perform work. Second law of thermodynamics is an effective tools to debunked pseudo-science in the field of perpetual energy (perpetual magnetic generator) and hoax energy saving scam.
