Thermodynamics SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICSSECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICSThe Second Law of Thermodynamics is used to determine the maximum efficiencyof any process. A comparison can then be made between the maximum possibleefficiency and the actual efficiency obtained.EO 1.25 STATE the Second Law of Thermodynamics.EO 1.26 Using the Second Law of Thermodynamics,DETERMINE the maximum possible efficiency of asystem.EO 1.27 Given a thermodynamic system, CONDUCT ananalysis using the Second Law of Thermodynamics.EO 1.28 Given a thermodynamic system, DESCRIBE themethod used to determine:a. The maximum efficiency of the systemb. The efficiency of the components within the systemEO 1.29 DIFFERENTIATE between the path for an idealprocess and that for a real process on a T-s or h-sdiagram.EO 1.30 Given a T-s or h-s diagram for a system EVALUATE:a. System efficienciesb. Component efficienciesEO 1.31 DESCRIBE how individual factors affect system orcomponent efficiency.SecondLawofThermodynamicsOne of the earliest statements of the Second Law of Thermodynamics was made by R. Clausiusin 1850. He stated the following.It is impossible to construct a device that operates in a cycle and produces noeffect other than the removal of heat from a body at one temperature and theabsorption of an equal quantity of heat by a body at a higher temperature.Rev. 0 Page 69 HT-01
