Introduction
•  Why does heat flow from
the hot lava into the cooler
water? Could it flow the
other way?
•  It is easy to convert
mechanical energy
completely into heat, but
not the reverse. Why not?

Directions of thermodynamic processes
•  The direction of a reversible process can be reversed by an
infinitesimal change in its conditions. The system is always in
or very close to thermal equilibrium. All other thermodynamic
processes are irreversible.
•  Figure 20.1 illustrates an irreversible and a reversible process.
•  We need to use the second
law of thermodynamics
and the concept of entropy
to answer the above
questions.

Heat engines
The efficiency of a heat engine
•  A heat engine is any device
that partly transforms heat into
work or mechanical energy.
•  The thermal efficiency e of a heat
engine is the fraction of QH that is
converted to work.
•  Simple heat engines operate
on a cyclic process during
which they absorb heat QH
from a hot reservoir and
discard some heat QC to a cold
reservoir.
•  e = W/QH
•  Figure 20.3 at the right shows
a schematic energy-flow
diagram for a heat engine.

•  Read Problem-Solving Strategy
20.1.
•  Follow Example 20.1 to analyze a
heat engine using Figure 20.4 at the
right.

Internal-combustion engines
The Otto cycle and the Diesel cycle
•  Figure 20.5 below illustrates a four-stroke internal-combustion
engine. The compression ratio r is the ratio of the maximum
volume to the minimum volume during the cycle.
•  Figures 20.6 and 20.7 below show pV-diagrams for idealized Otto
cycle and Diesel cycle engines. In both cases, the efficiency
depends on the compression ratio r.

Refrigerators
•  A refrigerator takes heat from a cold
place (inside the refrigerator) and
gives it off to a warmer place (the
room). An input of mechanical work is
required to do this.
Practical refrigerators
•  Figure 20.9 below shows the principle of the
mechanical refrigeration cycle and how the key
elements are arranged in a practical refrigerator.
•  A refrigerator is essentially a heat
engine operating in reverse.
•  Figure 20.8 at the right shows an
energy-flow diagram of a refrigerator.
•  The coefficient of performance K of a
refrigerator is K = |QC|/|W|.

Air conditioner
The second law of thermodynamics
•  An air conditioner works on the same principle as a refrigerator.
(See Figure 20.10 below.)
•  A heat pump operates in a similar way.
•  The second law of
thermodynamics can be
stated in several ways:
!  No cyclic process can
convert heat completely
into work.
!  No cyclic process can
transfer heat from a colder
place to a hotter place
without the input of
mechanical work.
•  Figure 20.11 at the right
illustrates both statements.

The Carnot cycle
Analyzing a Carnot cycle
•  A Carnot cycle has two adiabatic segments and two isothermal
segments.
•  Follow the derivation
of the efficiency of a
Carnot engine.
•  The pV-diagram in Figure 20.13 below shows the complete cycle.

The Carnot refrigerator
The Carnot cycle and the second law
•  A Carnot engine run in reverse is a Carnot refrigerator.
•  No engine can be more efficient than a Carnot engine operating
between the same two temperatures. Follow the proof of this in
the text, using Figure 20.15 below.
•  The coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigerator
is Kcarnot = TC/(TH – TC).

Entropy and disorder
•  Entropy, S, is a state variable,
which provides a quantitative
measure of disorder. The
explosion of the firecracker in
Figure 20.17 increases its
disorder and entropy.
Microscopic interpretation of entropy
•  Follow the discussion of the
microscopic interpretation of
entropy, using Figure 20.21
at the right.
•  The entropy of a macrostate
having w microstates is
S = k ln w.
•  A main result is that isolated
systems tend toward disorder
and entropy is a natural
measure of this disorder.

Entropy change in some adiabatic processes
•  Follow Example 20.9.
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc.
Entropy in cyclic processes
•  The entropy change during any reversible cycle is zero. Figure
20.19 below helps to explain why.
•  For an irreversible process the entropy of an isolated system
always increases. Entropy is not a conserved quantity.
•  Follow Example 20.10.

Entropy and the second law
Entropy and Heat
•  The second law of thermodynamics can be stated in terms of
entropy: No process is possible in which the total entropy of an
isolated system decreases.
•  The original formulation of entropy dealt with
the transfer of energy by heat in a reversible
process
•  In Figure 20.20 below, the entropy (disorder) of the ink-water
system increases as the ink mixes with the water. Spontaneous
unmixing of the ink and water is never observed.
•  Let dQr be the amount of energy transferred by
heat when a system follows a reversible path
•  The change in entropy, dS is
dS =

More About Change in Entropy
ΔS for a Reversible Cycle
•  dQr is measured along a reversible path, even
if the system may have followed an irreversible
path
•  ΔS = 0 for any reversible cycle
•  The meaningful quantity is the change in
entropy and not the entropy itself
•  For a finite process,

ΔS = ∫ dS = ∫

Heat Death of the Universe
•  Ultimately, the entropy of the Universe should
reach a maximum value
•  At this value, the Universe will be in a state of
uniform temperature and density
•  All physical, chemical, and biological
processes will cease
•  The state of perfect disorder implies that no
energy is available for doing work
•  This state is called the heat death of the
Universe
