There are four laws of thermodynamics.

  • Zeroth Law: The name given was coined by Ralph Fowler, but developed by the scientific community at large.
  • First Law: Germain Heiss and Julius Robert von Mayer first developed the law; it was first explicitly stated by Rudolph Clausius.
  • Second Law: Multiple scientists developed different definitions of the second law, all of which imply the others and can be used to derive them.
  • Third Law: The third law was developed by Walther Nernst.

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").

Is entropy closely related to the 1st law of thermodynamics?

Entropy is closely related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, not the 1st law. The 1st law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. Entropy, on the other hand, is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system, which increases over time according to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

What law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created or destroyed?

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system; it can only change forms. This law is also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy.
