law of thermodynamics

• Principe fondamental de la physique décrivant le comportement de l'énergie, de la chaleur et du travail dans un système. Les lois de la thermodynamique régissent la façon dont l'énergie est transférée et transformée, et incluent des notions telles que la conservation de l'énergie (première loi) et l'augmentation de l'entropie (deuxième loi).

A fundamental principle of physics that describes the behavior of energy, heat, and work in a system. The laws of thermodynamics govern how energy is transferred and transformed, and include concepts such as conservation of energy (first law) and entropy increase (second law).

1. Fundamental physical principleC1formal

   One of the basic principles of physics that describe the behavior of energy, heat, and work in a system.

   loi de la thermodynamique

   • The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
   • According to the second law of thermodynamics, entropy in an isolated system always increases.
   • The third law of thermodynamics says that as temperature approaches absolute zero, entropy approaches a constant minimum.
