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.

Would some scientists like to make two kingdoms for fungi?
This anwser is false. The reason why is because scientists want to make two kingdoms of Monera not two kingdoms of fungi
What is a 2nd law of energy?
You must be referring to the two Laws of Thermodynamics. Stated in terms of energy: 1. The First Law of Thermodynamics is the Law of Conservation of Energy, meaning that energy can not be created or destroyed. 2. However, useful energy is continuously being converted into unusable energy. This is irreversible. This is the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Questions in thermodynamics with answers?
What is the first law of thermodynamics? The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. What is entropy? Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. In thermodynamics, entropy tends to increase in isolated systems over time. What is the difference between heat and temperature? Heat is the energy transferred between two objects due to a temperature difference, while temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
Who were the two people who rediscovered Mendel's work in 1902?
Hugo de Vries and Carl Correns were the two scientists who independently rediscovered Gregor Mendel's work on genetics in 1902. They recognized the significance of Mendel's laws of inheritance and helped to establish the field of genetics.
Could you review the laws of thermodynamics?
Zeroth law of thermodynamics: If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law helps define the notion of temperature.First law of thermodynamics: Heat is a form of energy.Because energy is conserved, the internal energy of a system changes as heat flows in or out of it. Equivalently, perpetual motion machines of the first kind are impossible.Second law of thermodynamics: The entropy of any closed system not in thermal equilibrium almost always increases.Closed systems spontaneously evolve towards thermal equilibrium -- the state of maximum entropy of the system -- in a process known as "thermalization". Equivalently, perpetual motion machines of the second kind are impossible.Third law of thermodynamics: The entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches zero.The entropy of a system at absolute zero is typically zero, and in all cases is determined only by the number of different ground states it has
Which two laws in the universe govern all processes involving heat and energy?
The first and second laws 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 are the two laws pf thermodynamics?
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.
Why is the first law of thermodynamics more important than the other two?
The first law really isn't more important. ALL of the laws are necessary in order to make predictions and utilize thermodynamics in design. The First Law (conservation of energy) probably is the least abstract of the laws however and allows many of the simplest predictions and designs. That might be why someone would think it was the most important.
Who were two important groups of colonial society that began opposing British laws?
north korean and south korean
When objects of two different temperature are in contact what ahppens?
When objects of two different temperatures are in contact, heat transfer occurs. The hotter object will transfer heat to the cooler object until they reach thermal equilibrium, where their temperatures are the same. This process is governed by the laws of thermodynamics.
How many stages do scientists hypothesis there are to pangaea?
Scientists hypothesize that there are two main stages to the formation of Pangaea: the assembly stage, during which the continents were moving closer together, and the breakup stage, when Pangaea began to split into separate continents.
What two scientists realized that geologic changes are cyclic what two scientists?
Hutton and Lyee
What are the two laws that govern the way energy is transferred?
Are you referring to the laws of thermodynamics? If so, the first law is the law of conservation which states that energy is neither created nor lost, it only changes form. The second law is the law of entropy which very simply put states that heat will flow to cool areas and even itself out.
How many sylablles are in the word began have?
The word "began" has two syllables.
What does endothermic and exothermic have in common?
The two phenomenons are thermodynamics phenomenons involving heat (absorbing or releasing).
What are the two ways in which the second law of thermodynamics is verified?
in a closed system and with simple engines and machines
