Thermodynamics Questions & Answers

What does the second law of thermodynamics lead us to conclude?

The second law of thermodynamics asserts that for a thermodynamically defined process actually to transpire, the amount of the entropies of the participating bodies must increase. In an idealized limiting case, that of a reversible process, this sum
