The laws of thermodynamics, which were formulated by Sadi Carnot, Rudolf Clausius, and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), provide a framework for understanding the behavior of energy and its interactions with matter. The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other. The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of energy conservation, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. The second law of thermodynamics introduces the concept of entropy, which is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. Brijlal Subramaniam
