Understanding Cyclic Integrals in Thermodynamics

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that (1) it is impossible to construct an engine that operates in a cycle with no effect other than transferring heat from a cooler body to a hotter body, and (2) processes occur in a certain direction but not in the opposite direction, such as a hot cup of coffee cooling or gasoline being used but not replenishing in a car. The law was formulated based on experimental evidence that not every cycle that does not violate the first law will necessarily occur.

The Second Law of

Thermodynamics

Chapter 7
 The first law of thermodynamics states that during any
cycle that a system undergoes, the cyclic integral of
the heat is equal to the cyclic integral of the work.
 However, we know from our experience that because a
proposed cycle does not violate the first law does not
ensure that the cycle will actually occur.
 It is this kind of experimental evidence that led to the
formulation of the second law of thermodynamics.
 In its broader significance the second law
acknowledges that processes proceed in a certain
direction but not in the opposite direction.
 A hot cup of coffee cools by virtue of heat transfer to
the surroundings, but heat will not flow from the cooler
surroundings to the hotter cup of coffee.
 Gasoline is used as a car drives up a hill, but the fuel
level in the gasoline tank cannot be restored to its
original level when the car coasts down the hill.
7.1 HEAT ENGINES AND REFRIGERATORS
The first law of thermodynamics states that during any cycle
that a system undergoes, the cyclic integral of the heat is equal
to the cyclic integral of the work.
7.2 THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

 Two classical statements of the second


law
 Kelvin–Planck statement
 Clausius statement.
The Kelvin–Planck statement:

 It is impossible to construct a device that will operate in


a cycle and produce no effect other than the raising of
a weight and the exchange of heat with a single
reservoir.
See Fig. 7.6.
The Clausius statement:

 It is impossible to construct a device that operates in a


cycle and produces no effect other than the transfer of
heat from a cooler body to a hotter body.
See Fig. 7.7.

7.3 THE REVERSIBLE PROCESS

A reversible process for a system


-- is defined as a process that once having taken place
can be reversed and in so doing leave no change in
either system or surroundings.
7.4 FACTORS THAT RENDER
PROCESSES IRREVERSIBLE

Friction
Unrestrained Expansion
 Heat Transfer through a Finite Temperature
Difference
 Mixing of Two Different Substances
 Other Factors
 hysteresis effects
 i 2 R loss encountered in electrical circuits
 ordinary combustion
7.5 THE CARNOT CYCLE
7.6 TWO PROPOSITIONS REGARDING THE
EFFICIENCY OF A CARNOT CYCLE

 First Proposition
It is impossible to construct an engine that
operates between two given reservoirs and is more
efficient than a reversible engine operating
between the same two reservoirs.
 Second Proposition
All engines that operate on the Carnot cycle between two
given constant temperature reservoirs have the same
efficiency.
