ABSTRACT
Many conversions exist between these various forms of energy. The first law of thermodynamics, also called the law of conservation of energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be converted from one form to another (or from several forms combined to one or more other forms). This well-known law is one of the most fundamental laws in the natural sciences. It also forms the basis for energy analysis, and is implicitly used in many types of analysis, for example in energy statistics.
