First law of thermodynamics

The First Law of Thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another or transferred from one system to another. In other words, the total energy of a closed system remains constant. This law is a…

Entropy

Entropy is a concept from thermodynamics that refers to the degree of disorder or randomness in a system. In statistical mechanics, it is often defined as the number of microstates (arrangements of particles or energy levels) that correspond to a given macrostate (observable properties like temperature, pressure, or volume). The greater the number of microstates,…
