THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
Thermal Efficiency
Sinc Wnet = Qin - Qout
REVERSED HEAT ENGINES
Kelvin–Planck Statement
COP
EQUIVALENT OF THE TWO STATMENTS
REVERSIBLE AND IRREVERSIBLE PROCESSES
Irreversibilities
The factors that cause a process to be irreversible are called
irrevesibilities.
Common Sources of Irreversibility:
• Friction
• Sudden Expansion and compression
• Heat Transfer between bodies with a finite temperature
difference.

Reversed Carnot Device Coefficient of Performance
If the Carnot device is caused to operate in the reversed cycle, the reversible heat pump
is created. The COP of reversible refrigerators and heat pumps are given in a similar
manner to that of the Carnot heat engine as
