The first principle establishes the equivalence of the different formsof energy (radiant, chemical, physical, electrical, and thermal), the possibilityof transformation from one form to another, and the laws that govern thesetransformations. This is the principleof the degradation of energy. The second law of thermodynamics states that the quality of this energy is degraded irreversibly.

This is the principle of theconservation of energy. The first law of thermodynamics says that the total quantityof energy in the universe remains constant. The universe in its totality might be considered a closedsystem of this type this would allow the two laws to be applied to it.

The second law, known as Carnot'sprinciple, is controlled by the concept of entropy. Entropy and the Laws of Thermodynamics The principal energy laws that govern every organization are derivedfrom two famous laws of thermodynamics.
