1st Law of Energy or 1st Law of Thermodynamics
in all physical and chemical changes energy is neither created or destroyedenergy input always equal to energy output

2nd Law of Energy or 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
when energy is changed from one form to another some of the useful energy is always degraded to lower quality, more dispersed, less useful energy(heat)
