Question

The law of degradation of energy states that

• A. the energy is always conserved quantity wise
• B. the energy is always conserved quality wise
• C. the energy is always degraded quantity wise
• D. the energy is always degraded quality wise

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

the energy is always degraded quality wise

The available energy of a system decreases as its temperature or pressure decreases and approaches equilibrium to the surroundings. ... If the first law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation of energy, the second law of thermodynamics is also know as the law of degradation of energy.
