2 Heat Engine and Refrigerators
A heat engine is a device that carries a working substance through a cyclic process, during which it Absorbs thermal energy from a high-temperature source (H) The engine does work and Expels thermal energy to a low-temperature source (L)

3 Thermal efficiency: 1st Law Cyclic Process Work done by the substance
Heat added to the substance Thermal efficiency:

4 A refrigerator is a heat engine in reverse.
A refrigerator is a device that carries a working substance through a cyclic process, during which it Absorbs thermal energy from a low-temperature source by doing Work Expels thermal energy (the amount work done and the heat absorbed) to a high-temperature source

6 Reversible and Irreversible Processes
Reversible Process: a process that at the conclusion, the system and its surrounding return to the exact initial conditions. All natural processes are irreversible, at best “almost” reversible.

7 Irreversible Processes
Heat flows from the high-temperature to the low-temperature objects. The bouncing ball finally stops The oscillating pendulum finally stops

8 Carnot Engine (an Ideal Engine)
Carnot engine: a heat engine operating in a Carnot cycle. Carnot cycle: a cycle consisting of four REVERSIBLE (therefore Ideal) processes: two adiabatic processes B C; D A and two isothermal processes. A B;C D Carnot Carnot engine is the most efficient heat engine possible.

18 The Second Law of Thermodynamics
It is impossible to construct a heat engine with 100% efficiency. It is impossible to construct a refrigerator that does not require work.

19 Absolute Temperature Scale
Carnot engine — the most efficient heat engine: TC = 0  e = 1 Second Law  Temperature cannot be equal or lower than T = 0 K

20 Entropy Entropy is a state function like p, T, and Eint.
A state function describes the thermodynamic state of a system, which is independent of the history. The change in entropy S for an infinitesimal process: The subscript “r” stands for reversible process

21 For a finite process from an initial state “i” to a
final state “f”, the change in entropy is Unit: J/K The integration is along a path that represents a reversible process

22 From the statistical mechanical point of view, entropy
is a measure of disorder.
