5.1

Shown to the right is a P V diagram with two adiabatic lines 1 2 and 2 3, assumed to intersect at point 2. A cycle is formed by an isothermal
line from 3 1. An engine traversing this cycle
would produce work. For the cycle
U = 0, and
therefore by the rst law, Q + W = 0. Since
W is negative, Q must be positive, indicating that
heat is absorbed by the system. The net result
is therefore a complete conversion of heat taken
in by a cyclic process into work, in violation of
Statement 1a of the second law (Pg. 160). The
assumption of intersecting adiabatic lines is therefore false.

5.5 The energy balance for the over-all process is written:

Assuming the egg is not scrambled in the process, its internal-energy change after it returns to its initial
temperature is zero. So too is its change in kinetic energy. The potential-energy change, however, is
negative, and by the preceding equation, so is Q. Thus heat is transferred to the surroundings.
The total entropy change of the process is:

t

Stotal =
S t +
Ssurr

Just as
U t for the egg is zero, so is
S t . Therefore,

t

Stotal =
Ssurr
=

Q
=

T

Since Q is negative,
Stotal is positive, and the process is irreversible.

5.6 By Eq. (5.8) the thermal efciency of a Carnot engine is:


Differentiate:

Since TC /TH is less unity, the efciency changes more rapidly with TC than with TH . So in theory it is
more effective to decrease TC . In practice, however, TC is xed by the environment, and is not subject
to control. The practical way to increase is to increase TH . Of course, there are limits to this too.
5.11 For an ideal gas with constant heat capacities, and for the changes T1 T2 and P1 P2 , Eq. (5.14)
can be rewritten as:

or

5.20 Because W = 0, Eq. (2.3) here becomes:

Q =
U t = mC V
T
A necessary condition for
T to be zero when Q is non-zero is that m = . This is the reason that
natural bodies (air and water) that serve as heat reservoirs must be massive (oceans) or continually
renewed (rivers).
5.22 An appropriate energy balance here is:

Q =
H t = 0

Applied to the process described, with T as the nal temperature, this becomes:
m 1 C P (T T1 ) + m 2 C P (T T2 ) = 0

whence

If m 1 = m 2 ,

5.23 Isentropic processes are not necessarily reversible and adiabatic. The term isentropic denotes a process for which the system does not change in entropy. There are two causes for entropy changes in a
system: The process may be internally irreversible, causing the entropy to increase; heat may be transferred between system amd surroundings, causing the entropy of the system to increase or decrease.
For processes that are internally irreversible, it is possible for heat to be transferred out of the system
in an amount such that the entropy changes from the two causes exactly compensate each other. One
can imagine irreversible processes for which the state of the system is the same at the end as at the
beginning of the process. The process is then necessarily isentropic, but neither reversible nor adiabatic. More generally, the system conditions may change in such a way that entropy changes resulting
from temperature and pressure changes compensate each other. Such a process is isentropic, but not
necessarily reversible. Expansion of gas in a piston/cylinder arrangement is a case in point. It may be
reversible and adiabatic, and hence isentropic. But the same change of state may be irreversible with
heat transfer to the surroundings. The process is still isentropic, but neither reversible nor adiabatic.
An isentropic process must be either reversible and adiabatic or irreversible and non-adiabatic.

By inspection, one sees that for both T > T0 and T0 > T the numerators and denominators of the

When T = T0 , both the numerators and denominators of the above fractions become zero, and the
fractions are indeterminate. Application of lHopitals rule leads to the result: C P H = C P S = C P .
5.31 The process involves three heat reservoirs: the house, a heat sink; the furnace, a heat source; and the
surroundings, a heat source. Notation is as follows:
|Q|
|Q F |
|Q |

Heat transfer to the house at temperature T

Heat transfer from the furnace at TF
Heat transfer from the surroundings at T

The rst and second laws provide the two equations:

|Q| = |Q F | + |Q |

and

T = 295 K

TF = 810 K

TF

T = 265 K

and |Q| = 1000 kJ

|Q F | = 151.14 kJ

The result is:

Shown to the right is a scheme designed to accomplish this result. A Carnot heat engine operates with the furnace as heat source and the
house as heat sink. The work produced by the engine drives a Carnot refrigerator (reverse Carnot
engine) which extracts heat from the surroundings and discharges heat to the house. Thus the
heat rejected by the Carnot engine (|Q 1 |) and by
the Carnot refrigerator (|Q 2 |) together provide the
heat |Q| for the house. The energy balances for
the engine and refrigerator are:
|W |engine = |Q F | |Q 1 |
|W |refrig = |Q 2 | |Q |
Equation (5.7) may be applied to both the engine
and the refrigerator:

Solution for |Q F | yields the same equation obtained more easily by direct application of the two laws
of thermodynamics to the overall result of the process.

surroundings, a heat sink. Notation is as follows:

The result is:

with the tank as heat source and the surroundings
as heat sink. The work produced by the engine
drives a Carnot refrigerator (reverse Carnot engine) which extracts heat |Q  | from the house and
discharges heat to the surroundings. The energy
balances for the engine and refrigerator are:

5.40 The gure on the left below indicates the direct, irreversible transfer of heat |Q| from a reservoir at T1
to a reservoir at T2 . The gure on the right depicts a completely reversible process to accomplish the
same changes in the heat reservoirs at T1 and T2 .

Note that a Carnot engine operating between T1 and T2 would not give the correct Wideal or Wlost ,
