Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
- If two thermodynamic systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
First Law of Thermodynamics
- States that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system.
- Represented as $\Delta U = Q - W$
- $\Delta U$ signifies the change in internal energy of the system
- $Q$ is the heat added to the system
- $W$ is the work done by the system
- Represented as $\Delta U = Q - W$
Second Law of Thermodynamics
- The total entropy of an isolated system can only increase over time
- Represented as $\Delta S \ge 0$
- $\Delta S$ is the change in entropy of the system
- Represented as $\Delta S \ge 0$
Third Law of Thermodynamics
- Third law says that as the temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a minimum or zero value.
