Laws+of+Thermodynamics

__**The** L**aws of Thermodynamics**__ describes the transport of heat and work in thermodynamic processes. -Thermodynamics is the study of energy.

__**First Law of Thermodynamics**__ The first law of thermodynamics is often called the **//Law of Conservation of Energy//**. This law suggests that energy can be transferred from one system to another in many forms. Also, it can not be created or destroyed. Thus, the total amount of energy available in the Universe is constant. Einstein's famous equation describes the relationship between energy and matter

In the equation above, energy (** E **) is equal to matter( ** m **) times the square of a constant (** c **). Einstein suggested that energy and matter are interchangeable. His equation also suggest that the quantity of energy and matter in the Universe is fixed.

__**Second Law of Thermodynamics**__ Heat cannot be transfer from a colder to a hotter body. As a result of this fact of thermodynamics, natural processes that involve energy transfer must have one direction, and all natural processes are irreversible. This law also predicts that the entropy of an isolated system always increases with time. Entropy is the measure of the disorder or randomness of energy and matter in a system. Because of the second law of thermodynamics both energy and matter in the Universe are becoming less useful as time goes on. Perfect order in the Universe occurred the instance after the Big Bang when energy and matter and all of the forces of the Universe were unified.

__**Third Law of Thermodynamics**__ The third law of thermodynamics states that if all the thermal motion of molecules kinetic energy could be removed, a state called absolute zero would occur. Absolute zero results in a temperature of 0 Kelvins or -273.15° Celsius.

The Universe will attain absolute zero when all energy and matter is randomly distributed across space. The current temperature of empty space in the Universe is about 2.7 Kelvins.
