| second law of thermodynamics | <physics> All of the chemical and physical processes in a closed system tend to drive that system toward maximum entropy. Clausius statement: No device can operate in a cycle and allow heat to transfer from a colder body to a hotter body unless other compensating activities are taking place. Kelvin-Planck statement: no device can operate in a constant-temperature cycle and convert the heat it receives into work, unless other other compensating activities are taking place. (09 Oct 1997) |

| zeroeth law of thermodynamics | <chemistry> Two systems in thermal equilibrium with a third are in thermal equilibrium with each other. (09 Jan 1998) |
| first law of thermodynamics | This law, derived from the principle of conservation of energy, is expressed as E = Q - W, where E is the internal change in energy, Q is the heat the environment transfers into the system, and W is the work the system does. In other words, it means that: The internal energy in a system isolated from other systems remains constant The change in the internal energy of a system that is not isolated is equal to the energy that crosses its boundariesinto or out of other systemsIt can be further extrapolated to mean that despite all the processesgoing on in the universe, the total energy contained in the universeremains constant.

| Mendel's second law | Different hereditary factors assort independently when the gametes are formed; traits at linked loci are an exception. Synonym: Mendel's second law. (05 Mar 2000) |

| antidepressive agents, second-generation | A structurally and mechanistically diverse group of drugs that are not tricyclics or monoamine oxidase inhibitors. The most clinically important appear to act selectively on serotonergic systems, especially by inhibiting serotonin reuptake. (12 Dec 1998) |

Synonym: Bandl's ring, Baudelocque's uterine circle, Scanzoni's second os. (05 Mar 2000) |
| second law of thermodynamics |
a law stating that mechanical work can be derived from a body only when that body interacts with another at a lower temperature; any spontaneous process results in an increase of entropy

| second law of thermodynamics |
An inequality that is fundamentally different from the first law because it specifies the direction in which a natural process will evolve rather than merely requiring that certain quantities are conserved. As formulated by Planck, the second law asserts that a thermodynamic state function, S, known as entropy, exists for all physical systems. ...

| second law of thermodynamics |
Entropy - The tendency of an energy system to run down; systems go from a higher to a lower state of order. Entropy is the scientific description of creation under the curse of sin, therefore decay, death and degeneration. Evolution espouses that organisms move from a lesser state of organization to a higher state, or up hill (microbes to man) and therefore is diametrically opposed to, and breaks this Second Law of Thermodynamics!

| second law of thermodynamics |
The notion that natural processes that occur in an isolated system are spontaneous when they lead to an increase in disorder, or entropy.
