Zeroth Law — role?
Defines thermal equilibrium and temperature measurement.
First Law — principle?
Energy conservation: elta U = Q - W.
Second Law — concept?
Entropy tends to increase in natural processes.
Zeroth Law — definition?
Establishes thermal equilibrium and temperature measurement.
First Law — core principle?
Energy conservation; energy can't be created/destroyed.
Second Law — key concept?
Entropy of an isolated system never decreases.
Third Law — statement?
As temperature approaches absolute zero, entropy approaches constant.
Thermodynamic systems — types?
Open, closed, isolated.
Heat transfer mechanisms?
Conduction, convection, radiation.
Heat transfer — conduction?
Transfer via direct molecular contact.
