2nd Law of Thermodynamics
Lecturer: Professor Stephen T. Thornton
Reading QuizWhich of the following is most true?
A) The second law of thermodynamics is simply a statement of the conservation of energy.
B) The Carnot Engine is the most efficient engine possible.
C) Carnot built his engine as a gift to King Henry VIII.
D) Heat engines normally operate between three thermal reservoirs.
Answer: B
The Carnot cycle and Carnot engine is it!

Second Law of Thermodynamics Heat engines Carnot cycle and Carnot engine
If the first law of thermodynamics is about energy conservation, then the 2nd law is about the way in which energy flows.
Examples:A bowl of water sitting in this room does not spontaneously freeze.
It is impossible to construct an engine that can extract thermal energy from a system and turn all that energy into work.
Thermal systems spontaneously change in only certain ways.
2nd Law of ThermodynamicsWe can discuss this law in a number of ways.
The law basically states the way in which heat flow occurs.
Heat flow between two objects brought together in thermal contact always goes from the hotter object to the colder object.
Lots of ways to say the same thing!
Heat Engines
An engine is a device that converts heat into mechanical work.
Engines must operate in cycles in order to be useful. A piston and cylinder must return to original position. The change in internal energy is zero.
An engine operates between two thermal reservoirs.

Carnot Cycle
• Carnot’s cycle represents the most efficient
engine possible.
• It operates between two heat reservoirs.
• All the processes are reversible – two
isothermals and two adiabatics.
• We can show for the Carnot
cycle.

Another statement of 2nd Law of Thermodynamics

Thermography—the detailed measurement of radiation from the body—can be used in medical imaging. Warmer areas may be a sign of tumors or infection; cooler areas on the skin may be a sign of poor circulation.

conductivity?
A) a rug
B) a steel surface

The heat flow rate is k A (T1 − T2)/L. All things being
equal, bigger k leads to bigger heat loss.
From the book: Steel = 40, Concrete = 0.84,
Human tissue = 0.2, Wool = 0.04, in units of J/(s.m.C°).

We analyze refrigerators differently. We want to remove as much heat Qc as possible for the least amount of work.

Answer: D
W = Qh – Qc > 0
We know that Qh > Qc, but that is about all we know.
The work could be Qc, but we can’t tell.
The work can be greater or less than Qc, but we can’t know.
The only reasonable answer is D.

Carnot e = 1 − TC/TH = 1 − 270/600 = 0.55.
But by definition e = 1 − QL/QH
= 1 − 4000/8000 = 0.5, smaller
than Carnot e, thus irreversible.

Hiker as Heat Engine. Assume that a 65 kg hiker needs 4.3 x 103 kcal of energy to supply a day’s worth of metabolism. Estimate the maximum height the person can climb in one day, using only this amount of energy. As a rough prediction, treat the person as an isolated heat engine, operating between the internal temperature of 37°C (98.6°F) and the ambient air temperature of 20°C.
Heat Pump. A heat pump is used to keep a house warm at 22°C. How much work is required of the pump to deliver 3100 J of heat into the house if the outdoor temperature is (a) 0°C, (b) -15°C. Assume ideal (Carnot) behavior.
