A Historical Method Approach to Teaching Kepler’s 2nd law [PDF]
Astronomy Education Journal, 2020 Kepler’s 2nd law, the law of the areas, is usually taught in passing, between the 1st and the 3rd laws, to be explained “later on” as a consequence of angular momentum conservation. The 1st and 3rd laws receive the bulk of attention; the 1st law because of the paradigm-shift significance in overhauling the previous circular models with epicycles of ...

Motor Proteins and the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 Motor proteins doing intracellular transport or rotation consume chemical fuels (ATP) to make directional motion in an isothermal environment. From a general physical perspective, any directional motion in an isothermal environment costs a finite amount of energy, even though no work is done.

Simulation of Fick’s verification of the 2nd law
Diffusion Fundamentals, 2006 Adolph Fick’s original diffusion experiments used two vessels containing water and salt to establish a steady-state concentration gradient that demonstrated the validity of what is now called Fick’s second law of diffusion. The first vessel had a cylindrical shape creating a linear gradient.

On the Carnot efficiency and the 2nd law of thermodynamics
Physics EssaysA review is carried out on the general applicability of the Carnot efficiency of conversion of heat to work in a cycling engine. It is found that the expression for the calculation of such efficiency is correct when applied to cycles where the waste or unused heat from the engine is transferred outside the cycle in each and every cycle. In other words,
