First Law of Thermodynamics: |
|
Definition
First Law of Thermodynamics: Conservation of Energy
Q = ΔU + W
The change in energy of a system is the amt of energy added minus the energy spent doing work.
Q = heat
W = work
ΔU = change in internal energy

Definition
Second Law of Thermodynamics:
ΔStotal = ΔSsystem+ΔSsurroundings > zero
The entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous process and remains unchanged in an equilibrium process. |

Third Law of Thermodynamics |
|
Definition
Third Law of Thermodynamics
It is impossible to reduce any system to absolute zero in a finite series of operations. This means that a perfectly efficient heat engine cannot be created. |

Peltier Effect
calorific effect of an electrical current at the junction of two different metals.
heat is evolved at the upper junction (at T2), and absorbed at the lower junction |
