Laws of thermodynamics

The laws of thermodynamics are a set of fundamental principles that govern the behavior of energy and its transformation in various systems. These laws provide a framework for understanding and predicting the behavior of physical systems, from microscopic particles to macroscopic objects and even the universe as a whole.

About

These laws provide a framework for understanding and predicting the behavior of physical systems, from microscopic particles to macroscopic objects and even the universe as a whole. The four laws of thermodynamics describe concepts such as energy conservation, entropy, and the impossibility of certain processes. They have been extensively researched and tested, and are widely accepted as the foundation of modern physics and engineering. This Wikipedia page provides a detailed overview of each law, their historical development, and their implications in various fields of study.
