Chapter 12 The Laws of Thermodynamics Principles of Thermodynamics Energy is conserved FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS Examples Engines Internal Mechanical Friction Mechanical Internal All processes must increase entropy SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS Entropy is measure of disorder Engines can not be 100 efficient Converting Internal Energy to Mechanical U Q P V Work done by expansion W F x F PA x V A W
