Introduction

Every time you drive a car, turn on an air conditioner, or cook a meal, you reap the practical benefits of
thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is the study of relationships involving heat, mechanical work, and
other aspects of energy and energy transfer. The study of thermodynamics is central to both chemistry
and physics and is becoming increasingly important in understanding biological and geological
processes. Thermodynamics involves various concepts, but all of these, roots to its basic laws. This paper
will explain the different laws of thermodynamics and some of its implications in the actual world.

Body

The results of thermodynamics are all contained in certain apparently simple statements, called the laws
of thermodynamics. The term "thermodynamics" comes from two root words: "thermo," meaning heat,
and "dynamic," meaning power. Thus, the Laws of Thermodynamics are the Laws of "Heat Power." As
far as we can tell, these Laws are absolute. All things in the observable universe are affected by and
obey the Laws of Thermodynamics.

The first law of thermodynamics, central to the understanding of such processes, is an extension of the
principle of conservation of energy. It broadens this principle to include energy exchange by both heat
transfer and mechanical work and introduces the concept of the internal energy of a system.
Conservation of energy plays a vital role in every area of physical science, and the first law has extremely
broad usefulness. This law simply states that, energy can be changed from one form to another, but it
cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains
constant, merely changing from one form to another.

In equation,

Q =delta U + W

This equation states that in general, when heat Q is added to a system, some of this added energy
remains within the system, changing its internal energy by an amount the remainder leaves the system
again as the system does work W against its surroundings. Because W and Q may be positive, negative,
or zero, can be positive, negative, or zero for different processes

The second law of thermodynamics commonly referred to as the law of entropy. This law
denotes that the entropy of the universe never decreases. Systems tend to move from ordered
behavior to more random behavior. One implication of the second law is that heat flows spontaneously
from a hotter region to a cooler region, but will not flow spontaneously the other way. This applies to
anything that flows: it will naturally flow downhill rather than uphill.

The third law of thermodynamics, formulated by Walter Nernst and also known as the Nernst
heat theorem, states that “It is impossible for any procedure to lead to the isotherm T = 0 in a
finite number of steps.” This essentially establishes a temperature absolute zero as being
unattainable in somewhat the same way as the speed of light c. Theory states and experiments
have shown that no matter how fast something is moving, it can always be made to go faster,
but it can never reach the speed of light. Similarly, no matter how cold a system is, it can always
be made colder, but it can never reach absolute zero. 
The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that when two objects are individually in thermal
equilibrium with a third object, then they are also in equilibrium with each other.
This is important because when a body is left in a medium at a different temperature, energy will
be transferred until a thermal equilibrium is established. That’s why, if you leave a cold soda out
in the sun, it will warm up and reach the same temperature as the air outside.

Conclusion

Our concept of "Modern Science" is based on a series of major discoveries that define our
understanding of the universe. Advancements in mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, and
other disciplines have usually been accompanied by defining, or discovering, fundamental
principles. The Laws of Thermodynamics are important because they control interactions of
everything in the universe - regardless of scale. These rules stretch across every form of
science known to humankind

Classical physics is, from a certain perspective, entirely based on Newton's Laws of motion. Most of the
equations and principles taught in physics are based on these simply stated rules. In a similar way,
thermodynamics is defined and based on this laws. All of the equations and guidelines used to design
engines, analyze machines, and understand natural phenomena are subject to these laws. the three
Laws of Thermodynamics have influence over every scientific discipline, every biological or geological
process, and every interstellar system.
