law of thermodynamics

• Фундаментальный принцип физики, описывающий поведение энергии, тепла и работы в системе. Законы термодинамики регулируют то, как энергия передается и преобразуется, и включают такие понятия, как сохранение энергии (первый закон) и возрастание энтропии (второй закон).

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.

   Фундаментальный физический принцип

   • 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.
