To understand the implications of the second law of thermodynamics.
the second law of thermodynamics explains the direction in which the thermodynamic processes tend to go. that is, it limits the types of final states of the system that naturally evolve from a given initial state. the second law has many practical applications. for example it explains the limits of efficiency for heat engines and refrigerators. to develop a better understanding of this law, try these conceptual questions.
part a
the thermodynamic processes that occur in nature
the thermodynamic processes that occur in nature
convert thermal energy into mechanical energy
lead to a more ordered state
cannot be reversed
do not conserve energy
part b
according to the second law of thermodynamics, it is impossible for
according to the second law of thermodynamics, it is impossible for
heat energy to flow from a colder body to a hotter body
an ideal heat engine to have the efficiency of 99%
an ideal heat engine to have non-zero power.
a physical process to yield more energy than what is put in
part c
if the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is 1, which the following statements is true?
if the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is 1, which the following statements is true?
the temperature outside equals the temperature inside of the refrigerator.
the rate at which heat is removed from the inside equals the rate at which heat is delivered outside.
the power consumed by the refrigerator equals the rate at which heat is removed from the inside.
the power consumed by the refrigerator equals the rate at which heat is delivered to the outside.
part d
to increase the efficiency of an ideal heat engine, one must increase which of the following?
to increase the efficiency of an ideal heat engine, one must increase which of the following?
the amount of heat consumed per second
the temperature of the cold reservoir
the temperature of the hot reservoir
the size of the cold reservoir
the size of the hot reservoir
part e
how would you increase the coefficient of performance of an ideal refrigerator?
how would you increase the coefficient of performance of an ideal refrigerator?
increase the mechanical work input.
decrease the outside temperature.
decrease the inside temperature.
increase the outside temperature.
part f
why must every heat engine have a cold reservoir?
why must every heat engine have a cold reservoir?
because it is impossible for even a perfect engine to convert heat entirely into mechanical work.
because the cold reservoir keeps the engine from overheating.
because the cold reservoir keeps the engine from overcooling.
because the cold reservoir increases the power of the engine.
