The laws of thermodynamics

Challenge #28 in the Sevens series. Hosted by Dutch Newchurch.

Challenge has finished

This is the fourth in the series: ‘Seven Scientific Theories’. Imagine you have been asked to provide one or two creative and inspirational illustrations for a textbook, on the laws of thermodynamics. A fighter jet climbing, on full reheat (first law)? A forest fire (second law)? Liquid helium (third law)? A fireman shovelling coal into a steam engine's boiler (first law)? (The whole series is here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4236850 )

Processing rules:

No restrictions. If you don't do much Photoshop, that's fine, but please don't mark down those who do, as a principle.
Small, unobtrusive watermarks are allowed, and should not be penalised in voting.
Recommended image size is Facebook standard; 2048 pixels on the long side, but the challenge host (and voters) will tolerate other sizes.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

You must be the author of the image you enter.
If you enter, please vote.
If you vote, please vote fairly.
The challenge host will decide whether the entry matches the brief and may disqualify any that seem not to.
Please don't enter an image that has been entered into another challenge recently, or several times before. The challenge host may disqualify such entries at their discretion.
Put a piece of your own soul into your entry; a simple record of someone else's art is unlikely to attract a high score.
