If a reaction (or let's just say an object(the system)) is exothermic, it releases heat(exo means exit) into the surroundings. Because the heat leaves the system, the temperature of the object decreases and the surrounding get hotter. Conversely, if a system (an object or reaction) is endothermic, the object absorbs heat, increasing its own temperature and taking in heat from the surroundings, making the surroundings drop in temperature. Also, the energy of the universe is constant, but the entropy (measure of chaos in the world) is increasing. This heat we spoke of, lost or gained, is energy in the form of heat. However, conservation of energy still holds true because the heat isn't completely lost or added, but rather just transferred to different systems and surroundings.

Is entropy closely related to the 1st law of thermodynamics?
It is related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics
Why transportation related to physics?
Just about anything we do is related to physics, since physics tries to describe how the Universe works. Specifically, in transportation, relevant physical topics are movement, speed, momentum, energy (First and Second law of Thermodynamics), and - depending on the type of engines used - electromagnetism, heat engines, etc.
The first law of thermodynamics is related to the conservation of which quantity?
Yes. There are no known exceptions - otherwise it would not be considered a law
What law asserts that energy has qualify as well as quantity?
That statement is most closely related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
How is the 1st law of thermodynamics related to the conservation of energy?
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.
How is the thermodynamics process related to the 1st law of thermodynamics?

Is entropy closely related to the 1st law of thermodynamics?
It is related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics
How is Swine Flu related to science?
The same way everything in the universe is. Science can explain it, predict it and study it.
Tell about system related to thermodynamics?
In thermodynamics, a system is that part of the universe which is under experimental study or observation. The surroundings constitute everything other than system. That is The universe = The system + The surroundingsBut practically surroundings of a system is the neighborhood of the system which can interact with the system.Types of systems:1. Open SystemAn open system can exchange both energy and matter with the surroundings.Eg: Hot water kept open in cup. Here both matter (steam) and energy (heat) is exchanged with the surroundings by the system.2. Closed SystemA closed system can exchange energy but not matter with the surroundings.Eg: Hot water kept closed in a cup. Exchange of only heat takes place.3. Isolated SystemIn an isolated system, exchange of matter as well as energy is not possible.Eg: Hot water kept in a thermos flask. Exchange of steam as well as heat does not takes place.
What law of thermodynamics is unavailable for doing work?
"Unavailable for doing work" is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Which law is entropy closely related to?
2nd law of thermodynamics
Why is it required for students to be excellent in math in order to do thermodynamics?
Thermodynamics is a part of physics, and physics is very closely related to maths. Physics involves a lot of mathematical equations and problems, and as such, to be good in thermodynamics, you have to be good in maths.
Why transportation related to physics?

Specifically, in transportation, relevant physical topics are movement, speed, momentum, energy (First and Second law of Thermodynamics), and - depending on the type of engines used - electromagnetism, heat engines, etc.
What law of thermodynamics states that different forms of energy can be converted into one another?
That's related to the First Law of Thermodynamics - the Law of Conservation of Energy.
How is math related to the universe?
its not
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.
How are the second law of thermodynamics and Murphys law related?
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!
