Thermodynamics and Energy

    

The Arrow of Energy

Authors: Farkad Al Wattar

The Second Law of Thermodynamics does not specify when a system, such as that epitomised in 1824 by Sadi Carnot as a `heat engine', will cease functioning at the end of its useful life. Carnot's formulation of the Second Law allowed for a heat engine to run indefinitely when provided with sufficient fuel. The Arrow of Energy postulates that, as a result of wear and tear, a system of energy will cease functioning as the sum of all the useful energy produced approaches the total energy expended in its construction. Therefore, the energy expended in constructing the system and the sum useful energy produced by the system must be one-way entangled, forming an Arrow, similar to the Arrow of Time.
