7/31/2019 Thermodynamics States a Set of Four Laws Which Are Valid for All Systems That Fall Within the Constraints Implie
1/2
Thermodynamics states a set of four laws which are valid for all systems that fall within the
constraints implied by each. In the various theoretical descriptions of thermodynamics these
laws may be expressed in seemingly differing forms, but the most prominent formulations are
the following:
Zeroth law of thermodynamics:If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third,
they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other.
This statement implies that thermal equilibrium is anequivalence relationon the set
ofthermodynamic systemsunder consideration. Systems are said to be in thermal equilibrium
with each other if spontaneous molecular thermal energy exchanges between them do not lead
to a net exchange of energy. This law is tacitly assumed in every measurement of temperature.
For two bodies known to be at the sametemperature, if one seeks to decide if they will be in
thermal equilibrium when put into thermal contact, it is not necessary to actually bring them into
contact and measure any changes of their observable properties in time.[44]
In traditional
statements, the law provides an empirical definition of temperature and justification for the
construction of practical thermometers. In contrast to absolute thermodynamic temperatures,
empirical temperatures are measured just by the mechanical properties of bodies, such as their
volumes, without reliance on the concepts of energy, entropy or the first, second, or third laws of
thermodynamics.[45][46]
Empirical temperatures lead tocalorimetryfor heat transfer in terms of
the mechanical properties of bodies, without reliance on mechanical concepts of energy.
The zeroth law was not initially labelled as a law, as its basis in thermodynamical equilibrium
was implied in the other laws. By the time the desire arose to label it as a law, the first, second,
and third laws had already been explicitly stated. It was impracticable to renumber them, and so
it was numbered the zeroth law.
First law of thermodynamics:A change in theinternal energyof a closedthermodynamic
systemis equal to the difference between theheatsupplied to the system and the amount
ofworkdone by the system on its surroundings.[47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56]
The first law of thermodynamics asserts the existence of a state variable for a system, the
internal energy, and tells how it changes in thermodynamic processes. The law allows a given
internal energy of a system to be reached by any combination of heat and work. It is important
that internal energy is a variable of state of the system (seeThermodynamic state) whereas
heat and work are variables that describe processes or changes of the state of systems.
The first law observes that the internal energy of an isolated system obeys the principle
ofconservation of energy, which states that energy can be transformed (changed from one formto another), but cannot be created or destroyed.
[57]
Second law of thermodynamics:Heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder location to a
hotter location.
The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of the universal principle of dissipation of
kinetic and potential energy observable in nature. The second law is an observation of the fact
that over time, differences in temperature, pressure, and chemical potential tend to even out in
a physical system that is isolated from the outside world.Entropyis a measure of how much this
process has progressed. The entropy of an isolated system which is not in equilibrium will tend
to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium.

In classical thermodynamics, the second law is a basic postulate applicable to any system
involving heat energy transfer; in statistical thermodynamics, the second law is a consequence
of the assumed randomness of molecular chaos. There are many versions of the second law,
but they all have the same effect, which is to explain the phenomenon ofirreversibilityin nature.
Third law of thermodynamics:As a system approaches absolute zero, all processes ceaseand the entropy of the system approaches a minimum value.
The third law of thermodynamics is a statistical law of nature regarding entropy and the
impossibility of reachingabsolute zeroof temperature. This law provides an absolute reference
point for the determination of entropy. The entropy determined relative to this point is the
absolute entropy. Alternate definitions are, "the entropy of all systems and of all states of a
system is smallest at absolute zero," or equivalently "it is impossible to reach the absolute zero
of temperature by any finite number of processes".
Absolute zero, at which all activity (with the exception of that caused by zero point energy)
would stop is 273.15 C (degrees Celsius), or 459.67 F (degrees Fahrenheit) or 0 K (kelvin).
