By the first law of thermodynamics, energy is conserved - i.e. the sum of the useful work and the energy lost to heat will equal the energy you started with.

The second law states that you will never get 100% energy efficiency.

Which law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy applied to thermal systems?

The first law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy applied to thermal systems, stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed in a system.

Law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?

The law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed is the First Law of Thermodynamics. It is also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, which states that energy can only change forms or be transferred from one system to another.


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.

State and explain first law of thermodynamics?

The first law of thermodynamics is also called the law of conservation of energy.it may be stated as: 1st Statement: in this universe energy can neither be created nor destroyed though it may change from one form to another.


Thermodynamics first law?

The first law of thermodynamics states that in any thermodynamic process, when heat Q is added to a system, this energy appears as an increase in the internal energy stored in the system plus the work done by the system on it's surroundings. or to shorten that, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can change from one form to another i hope this helped ^^


What is lost during the Transformation of energy from potential to kinetic?

Nothing. 1st Law of Thermodynamics: energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form.


As water spontaneously freeze at room temperature the floor becomes very slightly cooler which law of thermodynamics has been violated?

That would significantly violate the second law of thermodynamics. For water to spontaneously freeze at room temperature, there would have to be something colder than the freezing point to absorb the energy coming out of the water. If the floor also became cooler, then it could not be absorbing energy. If you had ONLY the water and the floor, then this would also violate the 1st law - conservation of energy.


What does the 1st Law of Thermodynamics say about the possibility of unscrambling eggs?

First law of thermodynamics doesn't really address unscrambling eggs. The second law, however, suggests that it would take an outside expenditure of energy and release of heat to the environment to "unscramble" eggs. The eggs would not unscramble themselves naturally. Of course, in case you haven't noticed, eggs do not scramble themselves naturally. It requires an outside action to cause them to become scrambled too.
