Hi everyone,
Here is my version of laws of thermodynamics which I would like to share it with you and hear your feedback:
Zeroth Law: More than being a law, it is a definition for temperature and it follows:
Two systems are in thermal equilibrium iff (if and only if) they have the same temperature.
First Law: Similar to the Zeroth Law, it hold a definition and a concept:
Heat is energy and total energy of a system is conserved.
Second Law: I call this the Dahh! Law because it says whatever is more probable happens the most, dahh! Here is the formal definition:
For a closed system, the macrostate with the highest number of microstates is more probable to occur.
Third Law: It can be considered as the complementary definition and concept for the Zeroth Law:
As the number of available microstates (also entropy since 'S = k ln(w)') of a system minimizes, the inverse temperature value (i.e. β ≡ 1/T ) explodes to positive infinity.
Comments are appreciated,
