Introduction
 A process must satisfy the first law in order to occur.
 Satisfying the first law alone does not ensure that the process will take
place.
 Second law is useful:
 provide means for predicting the direction of processes,
 establishing conditions for equilibrium,
 determining the best theoretical performance of cycles, engines
and other devices.

A cup of hot coffee does
not get hotter in a cooler
room.
Transferring heat to a wire
will not generate electricity.
Transferring
heat to a paddle
wheel will not
cause it to
rotate.
These processes cannot occur
even though they are not in
violation of the first law.

Second Law of Thermodynamics
Kelvin-Planck statement
 No heat engine can have a
thermal efficiency 100
percent.
 As for a power plant to
operate, the working fluid
must exchange heat with the
environment as well as the
furnace.

5
Heat Engines
 Work can easily be converted to other forms of
energy, but?
 Heat engine differ considerably from one another,
but all can be characterized :
o they receive heat from a high-temperature
source
o they convert part of this heat to work
o they reject the remaining waste heat to a low-
temperature sink atmosphere
o they operate on a cycle

6
The work-producing
device that best fit into
the definition of a heat
engine is the steam
power plant, which is
an external combustion
engine.

7
Thermal Efficiency
 Represent the magnitude of the energy wasted in order
to complete the cycle.
 A measure of the performance that is called the
thermal efficiency.
 Can be expressed in terms of the desired output and
the required input
ηth =
Desired Result
Required Input
 For a heat engine the desired result is the net work
done and the input is the heat supplied to make
the cycle operate.

The thermal efficiency is always less than 1 or less than
100 percent.

Heat Pumps and Refrigerators
 A device that transfers heat from a low
temperature medium to a high temperature one is
the heat pump.
 Refrigerator operates exactly like heat pump
except that the desired output is the amount of
heat removed out of the system
 The index of performance of a heat pumps or
refrigerators are expressed in terms of the
coefficient of performance.

Supplementary Problem 4.1
1. A 600 MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a river, has a thermal
efficiency of 40 percent. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the river
water. Will the actual heat transfer rate be higher or lower than this
value? Why?
[900
MW]
2. A steam power plant receives heat from a furnace at a rate of 280
GJ/h. Heat losses to the surrounding air from the steam as it passes
through the pipes and other components are estimated to be about 8
GJ/h. If the waste heat is transferred to the cooling water at a rate of
145 GJ/h, determine (a) net power output and (b) the thermal
efficiency of this power plant.
[ 35.3 MW,
45.4% ]
3. An air conditioner removes heat steadily from a house at a rate of 750
kJ/min while drawing electric power at a rate of 6 kW. Determine (a)
the COP of this air conditioner and (b) the rate of heat transfer to the
outside air.
[ 2.08, 1110 kJ/min
]

22
4. Determine the COP of a heat pump that supplies energy to a house at
a rate of 8000 kJ/h for each kW of electric power it draws. Also,
determine the rate of energy absorption from the outdoor air.
[ 2.22, 4400
kJ/h ]
5. An inventor claims to have developed a heat engine that receives 700
kJ of heat from a source at 500 K and produces 300 kJ of net work
while rejecting the waste heat to a sink at 290 K. Is this reasonable
claim?
6. An air-conditioning system operating on the reversed Carnot cycle is
required to transfer heat from a house at a rate of 750 kJ/min to
maintain its temperature at 24o
C. If the outdoor air temperature is
35o
C, determine the power required to operate this air-conditioning
system.
[ 0.463
kW ]
7. A heat pump is used to heat a house and maintain it at 24o
C. On a
winter day when the outdoor air temperature is -5o
C, the house is
estimated to lose heat at a rate of 80,000 kJ/h. Determine the
minimum power required to operate this heat pump.
[ 2.18
kW ]

23
Entropy
 The 2nd law states that process occur in a certain
direction, not in any direction.
 It often leads to the definition of a new property called
entropy, which is a quantitative measure of disorder
for a system.
 Entropy can also be explained as a measure of the
unavailability of heat to perform work in a cycle.
 This relates to the 2nd law since the 2nd law predicts
that not all heat provided to a cycle can be
transformed into an equal amount of work, some heat
rejection must take place.

24
Entropy Change
 The entropy change during a reversible process is defined
as
 For a reversible, adiabatic process
dS
S S
=
=
0
2 1
 The reversible, adiabatic process is called an isentropic
process.

25
Entropy Change and Isentropic Processes
The entropy-change and isentropic relations for a process
can be summarized as follows:
i. Pure substances:
Any process: Δs = s2 – s1 (kJ/kg⋅K)
Isentropic process: s2 = s1
ii. Incompressible substances (liquids and solids):
Any process: s2 – s1 = cav T2/T1 (kJ/kg
Isentropic process: T2 = T1
