Laws of thermodynamics govern the behavior of energy from "summary" of Fundamentals of Physics, Volume 1 (Chapters 1 - 20) by David Halliday,Robert Resnick,Jearl Walker

The laws of thermodynamics play a crucial role in understanding the behavior of energy in various systems. These laws provide fundamental principles that govern how energy is transferred and transformed in different physical processes. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another. This law is based on the principle of conservation of energy, which is a fundamental concept in physics. The second law of thermodynamics introduces the concept of entropy, which is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. According to this law, in any energy transfer or transformation, the total entropy of a closed system will always increase over time. This means that energy tends to disperse and become more evenly distributed, resulting in an overall increase in disorder in the system. The second law also introduces the concept of heat transfer, which is the proce...
