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.

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.
