Zeroth Law
Helps define temperature
First law
Conservation of energy
Second law
Energy flows away from it’s source
Third law
As a system approaches absolute zero energy is not produced
Six major forms of energy
Thermal, radiant, electrical, mechanical, chemical, nuclear
Thermal
The vibration/movement of atoms within systems
Radiant
The electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves
Electrical
Energy made available by the flow of an electric charge through a conductor
Mechanical
Energy stored in the movement of objects or systems
Chemical
Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules (biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal)
Nuclear
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom -- the energy that hold the nucleus together
Sankey Diagram
Shows the type of energy that goes into a system and how the energy is converted, which also includes wasted energy, usually in the form of heat
Flow Diagram
Depicts how energy moves through a system and includes the type of energy and how that energy is generated and stored
