3.3.2
Y Y Shan
Any heat engine cycles (thermodynamic cycle) can be constructed from the combination
of the above four processes discussed in 3.3. Here are some engines and their efficiencies:
(a) Ideal cycle: the simplest kind cycle, is constructed out of a loop having a pair of parallel
isobaric processes and a pair of parallel isochoric processes
.
Net work out: W=(P2-P1)(V2-V1)
Or can be calculate: W=Wab+Wbc+Wcd+Wda=0-P2(V2-V1)+0-P1(V1-V2)=-(P2-P1)(V2V1)

The actual gasoline engine has efficiency much lower than 67%.

Note: In calculating the efficiency of heat-engine, or any other heat-engine related quantities,
the temperatures must be the values in Kelvins

Carnot theorem:
Carnot's theorem is a formal statement of this fact: No engine operating between two
heat reservoirs can be more efficient than a Carnot engine operating between the same
reservoirs( same TH, and same TC) This means that for any cycle operating between
temperatures TH and TC, none can exceed the efficiency of a Carnot cycle operating between
same TH and TC

clockwise on the P-V diagram, the engine uses heat to do net work, that is called heat engine.
If operated counterclockwise, it uses external work to transport heat(suck heat from low
temperature heat source to high temperature reservoir), and is therefore called heat pump,
such as an air-conditioner and a refrigerator.
Comparing the above energy reservoir model and P-V cycle for heat engine and heat pump:
A heat pump is therefore a device which applies external work to extract heat QC from a
cold reservoir and delivers heat QH to a hot reservoir.
Heat pump can be applied either for cooling, such as refrigerator, air-conditioners used in
summer, or heating, such as air-conditioners used in winter.

It is obvious that the colder (smaller TC value) a cold reservoir is used, the less heat (QC) is
released to the cold reservoir. When the amount of heat, QC, is approaching zero, this means

the reservoir used is the coldest of its kind, TC value will be mathematically zero. Temperature
scale referring to this mathematical zero as the zero degree is called absolute temperature
scale , themodynamic temperature scale, or the Kelvin temperature scale. A heat engine
whose coldest reservoir is zero degrees would operate with 100% efficiency.
If the size of the degree in absolute scale is taken as same as the Celsius-size
degrees(i.e the temperature difference between ice-water and boiling water is taken to be 100
units), the coldest temperature (defined as the absolute zero in Kelvin scale) will be 273.16
unites in Celsius scale.
Question: If a Carnot engine operating between two reservoirs, one is boiling water, the other
is ice water, it is found that for 100 Joule of heat absorbed from boiling water, 73.2 Joule of
heat will be released to ice-water, what is the absolute temperature of ice-water?

An equivalent statement of the second law is the statement by Clausius, often referred as the
second form of the second law:
It is impossible for heat to flow from a colder body to a warmer body without any
work having been done to accomplish this flow.
Informally, "Heat doesn't flow from cold to hot", which is obviously true from everyday
experience.
