Second law of thermodynamics

cultures could be studied by looking at cultural patterns. His second big idea was where White became unconventional. The second big idea stated that the cultural patterns needed to study cultures could be found by rearranging the second law of thermodynamics, entropy is increasing while biology is decreasing, implementing negative entropy. White believed that humans had replaced the biological aspect of the law with culture thus making the law, entropy…

waves. The waves hold energy away from releasing object. For a normal temperature, the radiation is in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The relationship ,conducting the net radiation from a hot object is called,” Stefan Boltzmann Law.”In 1879, it empirically obtained by Josef Stefan. In 1884, it was obtained theoretically…

adheres to the characteristic of constant change. Similarly, a soul that is destroyed cannot be recovered, while the body that dies still remains changing because it decays. Another principle that proves Socrates premise false is Newtons first law of thermodynamics which notes that "energy cannot be created nor destroyed." Given that all matter is made up of energy, it is impossible according to science for a body to be destroyed, whereas the metaphysical like an idea or a soul can be completely…

First law efficiency of Braysson cycle and Brayton cycle at temperature ratio 3.0 varying with pressure ratio is analyzed by fig.1.The efficiency of Braysson cycle is greater than Brayton cycle because in Braysson cycle utilizing the hot exhaust gasses from Brayton cycle are expanded in bottom cycle (Ericsson cycle). The first law efficiency of cycle with methane as working fluid is having high efficiency compared to all other working fluids. Since first law efficiency is a function…

mathematics of systems of differential equations (Thermodynamics and Kinetics). This means that the rate of any chemical reaction is determined by the type, and amount, of reactants present. Note the rate of a reaction is how fast it occurs. Furthermore, such rate equations can either be distinctively linear or non-linear when graphed. Non-linear equations are supposedly more complex as they generally react to small changes within its parameters (Thermodynamics and Kinetics). This could include…

scales of fate and justice in society are determined by the mere uncertainties of the universe, in other words, by random chance. Chance is the random occurrences that people experience every day, and is a result of entropy. Based on the second law of thermodynamics, the universe has a tendency to move towards disorder or a randomness. This characteristic of entropy can explain how fate is actually an inevitable outcome based on a greater scientific principle - chance. For instance, a major…

difference between right and wrong, are people naturally good and taught to violate the law or are they naturally bad and must be motivated to obey the law? In short, there are a great many beliefs for why people commit crimes. Historically, the consensus theory, which is based on the assumption that laws represent the views of the greatest normative consensus, has played a major role in understanding law and human behavior (Akers & Sellers, 2009). During the 1960s, however, the conflict…

The Führer, on the other hand, had a more nebulous relationship with Nietzsche’s writings. While Hitler appropriated Nietzsche’s ideas into his ideology, he never actually read his works personally. There were, however, stories and rumors spread throughout Germany regarding the two. Viennese actress Rosa Albach-Petty, for example, reportedly heard a story from a friend of a young workman named Adolf Hitler who asked to borrow Thus Spoke Zarathustra and another book by Nietzsche, saying, “‘almost…

comes in the form of Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica. a. One of the premises of causal theists beliefs is actually fairly close to a scientific law, they say that things only change when made to change by something else. That is similar to Isaac Newton’s first law of motion which states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted…

In the early 20th century, scientists, in particular Vilhelm Bjerknes and Lewis Fry Richardson, pioneered numerical weather forecasting, which is based on applying physical laws to the atmosphere and solving mathematical equations associated to these laws. The discovery of chaos theory and not least the development of computers greatly improved the quality of forecasts. Today, meteorologists constantly refine the various forecasting models designed by the world's…
