Introduction to the Second Law
• Definition : The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entrop y
of an isolated system can never decrease over time; it either increases or
remains con stant in reversible processes.
• K ey Statem ents :
– K elvin-Planck : No heat engine can convert all heat input into work;
some heat must be rejected.
– Clausius : Heat cannot flow spontaneously from a colder to a hotter
body without external work.

• Entrop y Cha nge (Gener al) :
dS =

whereS = entrop y ,Q

(K).

TdS
(Area under the curve on a T-S diagr am represents heat tr ansfer .)
• W ork in Rankine/Br a yton Cycles : Determined b y integr ating over the cy-
cle on T- S or P-v diagr ams.
Applications
• Used to evaluate the efficiency of heat engines, refriger ators, and heat pumps.
• Helps anal yze irreversibilities in real processes (e.g., friction, heat loss).
• Guides design of thermodynamic cycles (e.g., Rankine, Br a yton) to maxi-
mize work output.
