- When a closed system undergoes a thermodynamic cycle, the net heat transfer is equal to the net work transfer. This statement does not specify the direction of flow of heat and work (i.e. whether the heat flows from a hot body to a cold body or from a cold body to a hot body). It also does not give any condition under which these transfers take place.
- The heat energy and mechanical work are mutually convertible. Though the mechanical work can be fully converted into heat energy, but only a part of heat energy can be converted into mechanical work. This means that the heat energy and mechanical work are not fully mutually convertible. In other words, this is a limitation on the conversion of one form of energy into another form.

how these limitations can be overcome.

The second law helps to overcome limitations of first law
Deleteby the second iaw of thermodynamic
ReplyDeleteare there any other limitations ????
ReplyDeletegot well with these two....need few more limitations if any
ReplyDeletethakur said.... there is any other useful limitation????
ReplyDeletevery good said
ReplyDeletetq
ReplyDeletenice work
ReplyDeleteif we overcome this lilmitation than we can make perpetual machines
ReplyDelete@Alisha said right
ReplyDeleteits very nice
ReplyDeleteyo its very easy to remember , as compared to the wording of books..... :D
ReplyDeletethermodynamics laws are based on experience and experiment they are appropiate b not because they have not been proved wrong similar is the above discussion

ReplyDeleteone of the main limitation of first law of thermodynamics is that it does not tell about the feasibility of the process
