2nd Law of Thermo-Dynamics
What is 1st Law of thermodynamics ?
Violation of 2nd Law
This discussion leads us to a conclusion that processes proceed in a certain direction and not in the reverse direction.
Draw back in the first law is that id does not place a restriction on the direction of a process, but satisfying the first law does not ensure that the process can actually occur.
The second law of thermodynamics addresses this inadequacy.
A process cannot occur unless it satisfies both the first and the second laws of thermodynamics.
5
The use of the second law of thermodynamics also tells us that energy has quality as well as quantity. The first law is concerned with the quantity of energy and the transformations of energy from one form to another with no regard to its quality. Preserving the quality of energy is a major concern to engineers, and the second law provides the necessary means to determine the quality as well as the degree of degradation of energy during a process.
Quality and Quantity
Some Basic Concepts
Thermal Energy (Heat) reservoir
A heat reservoir is a sufficiently large system in stable equilibrium to which and from which finite amounts of heat can be transferred without any (significant) change in its temperature.
A high temperature heat reservoir from which heat is transferred is sometimes called a heat source. A low temperature heat reservoir to which heat is transferred is sometimes called a heat sink.
i.e. large bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and rivers as well as the atmospheric air can be modeled accurately as thermal energy reservoirs because of their large thermal energy storage capabilities or thermal masse
A two-phase system can be modeled as a reservoir also since it can absorb and release large quantities of heat while remaining at constant temperature.
Another familiar example of a thermal energy reservoir is the industrial furnace as it is kept at constant temperature.
Work reservoir
A work reservoir is a sufficiently large system in stable equilibrium to which and from which finite amounts of work can be transferred adiabatically without any change in its pressure.

Heat Engine
Consider arrangements shown in figure (a) & (b). The mechanical work done by the shaft, is first converted to the internal energy of the water. This energy may then leave the water as heat.
What if we reverse this process ?
Transferring heat to the water will cause the shaft to rotate ?
Surely NO.
So we can say that work can be converted to heat directly and completely, but converting heat to work requires the use of some special devices. These devices are called heat engines.

Heat Engine
A heat engine is a thermodynamic system operating in a thermodynamic cycle to which net heat is transferred and from which net work is delivered.
The system, or working fluid, undergoes a series of processes that constitute the heat engine cycle.
The following figure illustrates a steam power plant as a heat engine operating in a thermodynamic cycle.
Heat engines and other cyclic devices usually involve a fluid to and from which heat is transferred while undergoing a cycle. This fluid is called the working fluid.

,net out in outW Q Q
Basic characteristics of Heat Engine are:
• They receive heat from a high-temperature source (solar energy, oil furnace, nuclear reactor, etc.).
• They convert part of this heat to work (usually in the form of a rotating shaft).
• They reject the remaining waste heat to a low temperature sink (the atmosphere, rivers, etc.).
• They operate on a cycle.
Heat Engine
Thermal Efficiency
We know
Qout represents the magnitude of the energy wasted in order to complete the cycle. But Qout is never zero; thus, the net work output of a heat engine is always less than the amount of heat input. That is, only part of the heat transferred to the heat engine is converted to work. The fraction of the heat input that is converted to net work output is a measure of the performance of a heat engine and is called the thermal efficiency ηth .
,net out in outW Q Q
The thermal efficiency is the index of performance of a work-producing device or a heat engine and is defined by the ratio of the net work output (the desired result) to the heat input (the costs to obtain the desired result).

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.
The Kelvin-Planck statement of the second law of thermodynamics states that no heat engine can produce a net amount of work while exchanging heat with a single reservoir only. In other words, the maximum possible efficiency is less than 100 percent.
th < 100%

17
Heat Pump
A heat pump is a thermodynamic system operating in a thermodynamic cycle that removes heat from a low-temperature body and delivers heat to a high-temperature body. To accomplish this energy transfer, the heat pump receives external energy in the form of work or heat from the surroundings.
While the name “heat pump” is the thermodynamic term used to describe a cyclic device that allows the transfer of heat energy from a low temperature to a higher temperature, we use the terms “refrigerator” and “heat pump” to apply to particular devices.
Refrigerator is a device that operates on a thermodynamic cycle and extracts heat from a low-temperature medium.
The heat pump also operates on a thermodynamic cycle but rejects heat to the high-temperature medium.
18
Refrigerator as a heat pump operating in a thermodynamic cycle.
19
For the heat pump acting like a refrigerator or an air conditioner, the primary function of the device is the transfer of heat from the low- temperature system.
For the refrigerator the desired result is the heat supplied at the low temperature ( heat removed from space) and the input is the net work into the device to make the cycle operate.

Coefficient of Performance, COP
The index of performance of a refrigerator or heat pump is expressed in terms of the coefficient of performance, COP, the ratio of desired result to input. This measure of performance may be larger than 1, and we want the COP to be as large as possible.

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.
23
The food compartment of a refrigerator is maintained at 4°C 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 ofwork supplied.
(b) The rate at which heat is rejected to the room that houses the refrigeratoris 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. th < 100%
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.
Clausius statement of the second law
Thus, the COP of a refrigerator or heat pump must be less than infinity.
COP
25
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 QL from the low-temperature thermal reservoir and an amount of heat QH + QL 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 QL from the low-temperature reservoir without any external energy input. This is a violation of the Clausius statement of the second law.

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).
27
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 ΔENET is not equal to 0
Eout
Ein
Because the process goes from 1 to 2 and then reverses along the same path to go from 2-1, so ΔENET = 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
FrictionUnrestrained expansion of gases
Heat transfer through a finite temperature difference
Mixing of two different substancesHysteresis effects
I2R losses in electrical circuitsInelastic Deformation
Any deviation from a quasi-static process

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.
What is Totally Reversible ????
33
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 & T-v diagram :

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 (QL) (removing condenser or heat sink) .
Then we will not encounter point 4 in the cycle. Hence , there will be no net work done.
40
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 TH > TL. 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.
th th Carnot ,
(b) The efficiencies of all reversible heat engines operating between thesame two reservoirs are the same
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
