law of thermodynamics

• Princípio fundamental da física que descreve o comportamento da energia, do calor e do trabalho em um sistema. As leis da termodinâmica regulam como a energia é transferida e transformada, incluindo a conservação da energia (primeira lei) e o aumento da entropia (segunda lei).

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.

   Princípio fundamental da física

   • 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.
