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.
"Unavailable for doing work" is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
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!
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat, work, temperature, and energy. It is governed by four fundamental laws: the zeroth law establishes thermal equilibrium, the first law relates to energy conservation, the second law introduces the concept of entropy and the direction of spontaneous processes, and the third law addresses absolute zero and the behavior of systems as they approach this temperature. Overall, thermodynamics provides a framework for understanding how energy is transferred and transformed in physical systems.

Second Law of Thermodynamics
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.
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.
True
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.
According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.
The second law does not allow complete conversion of heat into work.

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
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.
