Perpetual Motion Machine Many inventors dream of perpetual motion machines, but they are an impossible dream according to the laws of thermodynamics. perpetual motion machine • first law of thermodynamics • second law of thermodynamics • conservation of energy • laws of physics
The First Law of Thermodynamics The first law of thermodynamics states that the work output from a heat engine can not exceed the energy input. This is the law of conservation of energy in disguise. law of thermodynamics • thermodynamics • conservation of energy • first law of thermodynamics • thermal energy
The Laws of Thermodynamics Early research on improving efficiency of heat engines led to the three laws of thermodynamics that govern heat and thermal physics. law of thermodynamics • second law of thermodynamics • entropy • heat energy • third law of thermodynamics
The Second Law of Thermodynamics The second law of thermodynamics states that the efficiency of a heat engine is always less than 100% and that the entropy of a closed system must always increase. law of thermodynamics • entropy • thermodynamics • conservation of energy • second law of thermodynamics
The Third Law of Thermodynamics The third law of thermodynamics says reaching a temperature of absolute zero is impossible and makes it impossible for a Carnot cycle engine to achieve 100% efficiency. law of thermodynamics • carnot cycle • third law of thermodynamics • second law of thermodynamics • thermal energy |
