BSC. -II PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY THERMODYNAMICS-II

It does not give information concerning feasibility of a thermodynamic process. NOT EXPLAINED BY FIRST LAW

It tells that work obtained is equal to heat absorbed but in actual heat absorbed can not be completely converted into work. Limitations motivating second law

5 The second law of thermodynamics It will arouse changes while the heat transfers from low temp.substance to high temp. one.

All spontaneous processes are thermodynamically irreversible..

The complete conversion of heat into work is impossible without leaving its effects somewhere. SOME AMOUNT OF HEAT MOVES TO SURROUNDING

Without the use of any external agency,heat can not by itself pass from a colder body to a hotter body HOT BODY COLD BODY HEAT TRANSFER EXTERNAL AGENCY

Sadi Carnot devised a technique, called Carnot Cycle. Carnot chose a reversible heat engine,.known as carnot engine, consisting of one mole of ideal gas, fitted with frictionless piston,insulated on all sides except bottom. This engine is having 2 heat reservoirs, one at higher temperature T 2 and the other at a lower temperature T 1. The Carnot Cycle consists of 4 different operations: 1.Isothermal expansion 2.Adiabetic expansion 3.Isothermal compression 4.Adiabetic compression
