The first law of thermodynamics Heat is work and work is heat.
The first law of thermodynamics Heat is work and work is heat.
Very good
The second law of thermodynamics Heat cannot of itself pass from one body to a hotter body.
The second law of thermodynamics Heat cannot of itself pass from one body to a hotter body Heat won't pass from a cooler to a hotter Heat won't pass from a cooler to a hotter.
You can try it if you like but you far better notter. You can try it if you like but you far better notter.
'Cause the cold in the cooler will be hotter as a ruler.
'Cause the cold in the cooler will be hotter as a ruler.
Because the hotter body's heat will pass through the cooler
Heat is work and work is heat and work is heat and heat is work Heat will pass by conduction.
Heat is work and work is heat and work is heat and heat is work Heat will pass by conduction.
And heat will pass by convection.
And heat will pass by convection.
And heat will pass by radiation.
And heat will pass by radiation.
And that's a physical law
Heat is work and work's a curse And all the heat in the universe It's gonna cool down as it can't increase Then there'll be no more work And they'll be perfect peace Really? Yeah, that's entropy, man! And all because of the second law of thermodynamics, which lays down
That you can't pass heat from the cooler to the hotter Try it if you like but you far better notter 'Cause the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a ruler 'Cause the hotter body's heat will pass through the cooler
Oh, you can't pass heat from the cooler to the hotter You can try it if you like but you far better notter 'Cause the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a ruler That's the physical law
Ooh, I'm hot!
What? That's because you've been working
Oh, Beatles? Nothing!
That's the first and second law of thermodynamics
