The overall effect is that heat moves from what is warm to what is cold. In theory, the entire universe will eventually reach a uniform temperature.

The fact that usable energy is always lost in an energy transfer is due to what 1 Newton's first law of motion 2 the second law of thermodynamics 3 Newton's second law of motion 4 the first l?

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.


What is the principle of the law of thermodynamics that states "useful energy in, useful energy out"?

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.


Which law of thermodynamics states that the heat engine cannot be completely efficient?

True


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.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics.


What law of thermodynamics states that some useful energy is lost in a reaction?

because partly will be emissed to the environment, which cant be reused. For more information refer to sustainability studies, which are looking, among other things, how heat directed to the environment can be minimised


Why does osmosis occer?

The second law of thermodynamics states (to the effect) 'Entropy is always increasing.' This means that there is energy to be found is spreading out. As osmosis obeys the 2nd law then it is energetically favourable that it should occur.
