1 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
Higher Temperature Lower Temperature Heat Heat will not flow spontaneously from a lower temperature object to a higher temperature object.

2 Heat Engine – any device that uses heat to do work
QH (input heat) Conservation of Energy: QH = W + QC W (Work) QC (rejected heat)

3 hyperphysics

4 An engine has an efficiency of 20% and produces 2000 J of mechanical work during one cycle. How much energy is transferred out of the engine by heating the environment during one cycle? 100 J 2000 J 8000 J 10000 J

5 Th= 550 K Tc Engine Qh Qc W = 630 J = 920 J For the engine a) What is the Work done by engine each cycle? b) What is the efficiency of the engine?

6 hyperphysics

7 Refrigerators, Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps
For these, we need heat to flow from lower to higher temperature: This requires work Conservation of Energy: QH = W + QC
