State Kelvin-Planck's statement of the second law of thermodynamics.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Kelvin-Planck's statement: It is impossible to construct a heat engine that operates in a cycle, whose sole effect is to convert the heat completely into work. This implies that no heat engine in the universe can have 100% efficiency.

Suppose a person wants to increase the efficiency of the reversible heat engine that is operating between 100°C and 300°C. He had two ways to increase efficiency.
- By decreasing the cold reservoir temperature from 100°C to 50°C and keeping the hot reservoir temperature constant
- by increasing the temperature of the hot reservoir from 300°C to 350°C by keeping the cold reservoir temperature constant.
Which is the suitable method?
10 One mole of a van der Waals' gas obeying the equation `("P" + "a"/"V"^2)`(V - b) = RT undergoes the quasi-static cyclic process which is shown in the P-V diagram. The net heat absorbed by the gas in this process is ______
