What is 2nd law of thermodynamics? What is entropy?
Describe the thermodynamic systems?
Thermodynamics. Please help me out with detailed explanation. Heat usually flows from a system of higher temperature to another system oflower temperature, eventually leading towards thermal equilibirum which isconsistent with the second law of thermodynamics. However, in a refrigerator,heat is pumped out from a cold reservoir and then released into a hot reservoir.Does the refrigerator violate the second law? Why or why not?
