Energy is conserved.\n2. **Second Law** – *Irreversibility*: Entropy of an isolated system never decreases; heat flows from hot → cold; real engines are less than 100 % efficient.\n3. **Third Law** – *Zero‑Kelvin limit*: Entropy → constant (often zero) as temperature → 0 K; absolute zero cannot be reached.\n\nThese laws form the foundation of classical thermodynamics, governing everything from steam turbines and internal‑combustion engines to biological metabolism and the cosmic evolution of stars.","function_call":null,"reasoning":"User asks: \"What are the three laws of thermodynamics?\" Probably expects a concise explanation of the first, second, third laws (maybe also mention the zeroth).
