12 RELATING ENERGY CONVERSION PROCESSES 281<br />

The last rows of Tables 12.4 and12.5 list the relationship that results<br />

when an energy conversion device is described in the language of calculus<br />

of variations, the Euler-Lagrange equation is set up, andthe Euler-<br />

Lagrange equation is solvedfor the equation of motion. The laws that<br />

result, Newton's secondlaw, conservation of momentum, conservation of<br />

angular momentum, and conservation of torque, are fundamental ideas of<br />

mechanics.
