  2. Conservation of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy

    This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 24 February 2025. Law of physics and chemistry This article is about the law of conservation of energy in physics. For sustainable energy resources, see Energy conservation. Part of a series on Continuum mechanics J = − D d φ d x {\displaystyle J=-D{\frac {d\varphi }{dx}}} Fick's laws of diffusion ...

  3. First law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_law_of_thermodynamics

    This problem is solved by recourse to the principle of conservation of energy. This principle allows a composite isolated system to be derived from two other component non-interacting isolated systems, in such a way that the total energy of the composite isolated system is equal to the sum of the total energies of the two component isolated ...

  4. Laws of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

    The First Law encompasses several principles: Conservation of energy, which says that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but can only change form. A particular consequence of this is that the total energy of an isolated system does not change. The concept of internal energy and its relationship to temperature.

  5. Energy conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conservation

    Energy conservation is the effort to reduce wasteful energy consumption by using fewer energy services. This can be done by using energy more effectively (using less and better sources of energy for continuous service) or changing one's behavior to use less and better source of service (for example, by driving vehicles which consume renewable ...

  6. Conservation law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_law

    In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. Exact conservation laws include conservation of mass-energy, conservation of linear momentum, conservation of angular momentum, and conservation of electric charge.

  7. Levine's conservation model for nursing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levine's_Conservation_Model...

    Levine postulated four main principles that the nurse follow to facilitate healing a patient. They are conserving the patient's: Energy; Structural integrity; Personal integrity; Social integrity; The conservation model of nursing is based around the law of conservation of energy, combined with the psycho-social aspects of the individual's ...

  8. Thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics

    where U 0 denotes the internal energy of the combined system, and U 1 and U 2 denote the internal energies of the respective separated systems. Adapted for thermodynamics, this law is an expression of the principle of conservation of energy, which states that energy can be transformed (changed from one form to another), but cannot be created or ...

  9. Energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy

    The uncertainty principle should not be confused with energy conservation – rather it provides mathematical limits to which energy can in principle be defined and measured. Each of the basic forces of nature is associated with a different type of potential energy, and all types of potential energy (like all other types of energy) appear as ...
