Clausius statement of the second law
The Clausius statement of the second law states that it is impossible to
construct a device that operates in a cycle and produces no effect other than
the transfer of heat from a lower-temperature body to a higher-temperature
body.
Or energy from the surroundings in the form of work or heat
has to be expended to force heat to flow from a low-
temperature medium to a high-temperature medium.
Thus, the COP of a refrigerator or heat pump must be less
than infinity.

Heat Pump and Air Conditioner Ratings
Heat pumps and air conditioners are rated using the SEER system. SEER is
the Seasonal adjusted Energy Efficiency Rating. The SEER rating is the
amount of heating (cooling) on a seasonal basis in Btu/hr per unit rate of
power expended in watts, W.
The heat transfer rate is often given in terms of tons of heating or cooling.
One ton equals 12,000 Btu/hr = 211 kJ/min.

The food compartment of a refrigerator is maintained at 4C by removing heat
from it at a rate of 360 kJ/min. If the required power input to the refrigerator is 2
kW, determine (a) the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator and (b) the
rate of heat rejection to the room that houses the refrigerator.
(a) The coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is
That is, 3 kJ of heat is removed from the refrigerated space for each kJ of
work supplied.
(b) The rate at which heat is rejected to the room that houses the refrigerator
is determined from the conservation of energy relation for cyclic devices,
We see that both the energy removed from the refrigerated space as heat and
the energy supplied to the refrigerator as electrical work eventually show up in
the room air and become part of the internal energy of the air. This
demonstrates that energy can change from one form to another, can move
from one place to another, but is never destroyed during a process.

Second Law Statements
Kelvin-Planck statement of the second law
It is impossible for any device that operates on a cycle to receive heat
from a single reservoir and produce a net amount of work.
In other words, the maximum possible efficiency is less than 100
percent.

A violation of either the Kelvin-Planck or Clausius statements of the second law
implies a violation of the other. Assume that the heat engine shown below is
violating the Kelvin-Planck statement by absorbing heat from a single reservoir
and producing an equal amount of work W. The output of the engine drives a
heat pump that transfers an amount of heat Q
L
from the low-temperature thermal
reservoir and an amount of heat Q
H
+ Q
L
to the high-temperature thermal
reservoir. The combination of the heat engine and refrigerator in the figure acts
like a heat pump that transfers heat Q

any external energy input. This is a violation of the Clausius statement of the

Perpetual-Motion Machines
Any device that violates the first or second law of thermodynamics is
called a perpetual-motion machine. If the device violates the first law (
creating energy), it is a perpetual-motion machine of the First kind
(PMM1). If the device violates the second law, it is a perpetual-motion
machine of the second kind (PMM2).

REVERSIBLE AND IRREVERSIBLE PROCESSES
Second Law states that no Heat Engine can have 100 % efficiency.
Well if this is not possible , then what could be the highest efficiency which
can be achieved. To answer this we need to study the concept of
REVERSIBLE and IRREVERSIBLE Processes.
Lets look at a few process;-
Cooling of water. The water will lose heat to air. We cannot force the heat to
go back to the water. In fact we will have to use some energy source to heat
the water back.
Stopping of a car by applying the brakes. When we apply brakes , the
friction generated by the brake pads cause the car to stop. In the process
the brakes get heated. Now we cannot apply heat to cold brakes and expect
the wheel to rotate. We will have to apply some other energy source to
rotate the wheel.
28
Reversible Processes
Now this means that to reverse the process some external energy has to be put in.
This energy has to come from surroundings. So what could be a reversible
process. Lets first define it.
REVERSIBLE PROCESS IS A PROCESS THAT CAN BE REVERSED WITHOUT
LEAVING ANY TRACE ON THE SURROUNDINGS
This is only possible, if the process retraces its path when the process reverses.
An irreversible process on the other hand will not reverse along the same path to
reach its original state , and hence will require energy or give energy to come back
to its original state. Here E
NET
is not equal to 0
E
out
E
in
Because the process goes from 1 to 2 and then reverses along the same
path to go from 2-1, so E
NET
= 0
29
Irreversible Process
An irreversible process is a process that is not reversible.
All real processes are irreversible. IRREVERSIBILITIES reduce the efficiency of
devices , hence to achieve better design and performance we need to lower the
factors which cause irreversibilities : Following are some major factor
Friction
Unrestrained expansion of gases
Heat transfer through a finite temperature
difference
Mixing of two different substances
Hysteresis effects

Internally reversible process
The internally reversible process is a quasi-equilibrium process, which,
once having taken place, can be reversed and in so doing leave no
change in the system. This says nothing about what happens to the
surroundings about the system. ( reversibilities occur only within
boundaries of the system) Quasi equilibrium process
Externally reversible process
The externally reversible process is a process, which, once having taken
place, can be reversed and in so doing leave no change on
surroundings.

The Carnot Cycle
Scientists and researchers remained eager to produce the most efficient practical
engine since ever.
We now that heat engines operate in cycle i.e. the working fluid of a heat engine
returns to its initial state at the end of each cycle.
Work is done by the working fluid during one part of the cycle and on the working
fluid during another part.
The difference between these two is the net work delivered by the heat engine.
The efficiency of a heat-engine therefore greatly depends on how the individual
processes that make up the cycle are executed. The net work, thus the cycle
efficiency, can be maximized by using processes that require the least amount of
work and deliver the most, i.e. using reversible processes
34
The Carnot Cycle
French military engineer Nicolas Saadi Carnot (1769-1832) was among
the first to study the principles of the second law of thermodynamics.
Carnot was the first to introduce the concept of cyclic operation and
devised a reversible cycle that is composed of four reversible processes,
two isothermal and two adiabatic. His design looks like following on P-v

You may have observed that power cycles operate in the clockwise direction when
plotted on a process diagram. The Carnot cycle may be reversed, in which it
operates as a refrigerator. The refrigeration cycle operates in the counterclockwise
direction.
39
We know that area under the process
curve is equal to the boundary work.
Network during Carnot Cycle is area
enclosed between 1-2-3-4. Larger this
area larger is the net work done.
Now assume we try to save the energy
lost (Q
L)
(removing condenser or heat sink) .
Then we will not encounter point 4 in the
cycle. Hence , there will be no net work
done.

Carnot Principles
The second law of thermodynamics puts limits on the operation of cyclic devices
as expressed by the Kelvin-Planck and Clausius statements. A heat engine
cannot operate by exchanging heat with a single heat reservoir, and a
refrigerator cannot operate without net work input from an external source.
Consider heat engines operating between two fixed temperature reservoirs at T
H
> T
L
. We draw two conclusions about the thermal efficiency of reversible and
irreversible heat engines, known as the Carnot principles.
(a) The efficiency of an irreversible heat engine is always less than the efficiency
of a reversible one operating between the same two reservoirs.

(b) The efficiencies of all reversible heat engines operating between the

41
Most of our Temperature scales are based on some property of a
substance like thermal expansion.
A THERMODYNAMIC TEMPERATURE SCALE IS INDEPENDENT
OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE SUBSTANCE.
Such a scale has been derived from the Carnot Principles i.e. The
Second One
Since the thermal efficiency in general is

Q

Here the efficiency is independent of the properties of the
material used but is dependent upon the Heat transfer of each
engine. Now the efficiencies of each engine will be the same
because they operate between the same reservoirs.
