The second law of thermodynamics states that in any energy transfer or transformation, the total entropy of a closed system will always increase over time. This law implies that heat naturally flows from hot to cold objects and that it is impossible to convert all heat into work without some energy loss.
What else can I help you with?
What name is given for the transfer of thermal energy from areas of high thermal energy to areas of low thermal energy?
The name for the transfer of thermal energy from areas of high thermal energy to areas of low thermal energy is known as heat transfer. Heat flows naturally in this direction until thermal equilibrium is reached.
Why does thermal energy only move from the warmer object to the cooler object?
Thermal energy moves from warmer objects to cooler objects because of the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat naturally flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached. This is due to the tendency of molecules to seek a state of equilibrium and distribute their thermal energy evenly.
The zeroth law of thermodynamics pertains to what relational condition that may exist between two systems?
The zeroth law of thermodynamics pertains to the concept of thermal equilibrium between two systems. It states that if two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law establishes the transitivity of thermal equilibrium relationships.
Does heat flow from warm to cooler substances?
Yes. Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler substance. The technical term is: The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
The law of thermodynamics states that two systems that are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system are in thermal equilibrium with each other?
The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law helps define temperature and sets the basis for building thermometers. It ensures that a consistent temperature scale can be established.
Why do biological organisms violate the law of thermal dynamics?
No biological entity violates any of the laws of thermodynamics.
What is thermal-dynamics?
Thermodynamic loss is about the same as saying 'cooling down'.
What name is given for the transfer of thermal energy from areas of high thermal energy to areas of low thermal energy?
The name for the transfer of thermal energy from areas of high thermal energy to areas of low thermal energy is known as heat transfer. Heat flows naturally in this direction until thermal equilibrium is reached.
Why do you have a zeroth law of thermodynamics?
The "zeroeth" law defines thermal equilibrium. It also helps define the concept of temperature. Both of these are prerequisite assumptions and/or concepts that the first and second laws depend on.

What substance is an anomaly to the law thermal expansion?
Ice
Does wind have thermal energy?
yes. everything has some thermal energy. Even liquid nitrogen has some thermal energy. Nothing can have no thermal energy, look at the 3rd law of thermodynamics.

How is friction related to the law of conservation of energy?
When an object slows down because of friction, its energy is not lost but merely transferred to thermal energy. Since energy naturally disperses as much as possible, the thermal energy gets dispersed throughout the atmosphere. Even though the energy is no longer usable it is still conserved. *see the second law of thermodynamics
What states that the two system which are in thermal equilibrium with a third system are in thermal equilibrium with each other?
The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics states that if two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law establishes the concept of temperature and allows for the definition of a common temperature scale.
