It has several forms, all of which are more or less equivalent, even though they don't seem so, at first glance. For example:
- In a closed system, entropy can never decrease.
- There are irreversible processes.

What law of thermodynamics is unavailable for doing work?
"Unavailable for doing work" is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
What is another name for the Law of Disorder?
Second Law of Thermodynamics
How many thermodynamics laws are there?
There are three laws of thermodynamics. The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. The second law states that heat naturally flows from hot to cold. The third law states that as temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a perfect crystal approaches zero.
How are the second law of thermodynamics and Murphys law related?
Actually Murphy's law has been suggested (humorously) as "the fourth law of thermodynamics". It is only peripherally related the the second law. One of the implications of the second law is that an increase in disorder in the universe is a consequence of natural processes. Some have suggested that Murphy's law (If any thing can go wrong, it will.) is an example of this. Strictly speaking - this is quite different from the 2nd law but when someone screws up, it sure does tend to cause a lot of disorder!
Why do biological organisms violate the laws of thermodynamics?
Biological organisms do NOT violate the laws of thermodynamics. Some people mistakenly think that because they assemble into complex structures they must be in violation of the 2nd law. This is not true. The 2nd law does not preclude the assembly of complex structure, it says that any such process will produce more entropy in the universe - so the decrease in entropy of the plant, animal, bacteria, or biological organism is accompanied by an even greater INCREASE in the entropy of the universe.
On which thermodynamic law a thermodynamics cycle based?
Thermodynamic cycle is based on 2nd law of thermodynamics.
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 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.
Why zeroth law is call zeroth law of thermodynamic?
zeroth law forms the basis for first 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.
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").
What is law of the 2nd?
the second law of thermodynamics states that systems tend to change in a way that increases the disorder.
What is the 2nd Law of Theromdynamics?
the second law of thermodynamics states that systems tend to change in a way that increases the disorder.
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.
Which law is Some energy is released as unusable heat energy into the environment?
This statement is based on the second law of thermodynamics, which states that in any energy transformation, some energy is lost as waste heat and cannot be converted back into usable energy. This principle underlies many natural processes and technological systems.
What are some connections between 2nd law of thermodynamics and living things?
relationship between the thermodynamic quantity entropy
How is the thermodynamics process related to the 1st law of thermodynamics?
