Detailed explanation-1: -The second law of thermodynamics requires that heat is transferred from one body to another body only if the two bodies are at different temperatures, and that the heat flows from the body at the highest temperature to the body at the lowest temperature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Second Law of Thermodynamics and entropy: the entropy of the universe constantly increases.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is impossible to construct a device operating in a cycle that can transfer heat from a colder body to a warmer one without consuming any work. Also, energy will not flow spontaneously from a low-temperature object to a higher temperature object.
