1) Heat engines convert heat into work by using heat reservoirs at different temperatures. The first steam engine was built in 1769 and Sadi Carnot analyzed heat engines thermodynamically in 1824. 2) The Carnot cycle consists of two isothermal and two adiabatic processes between two heat reservoirs. It establishes the maximum possible efficiency for a heat engine operating between two temperatures. 3) The first and second laws of thermodynamics state that the entropy change of a cyclic process is zero, and that work is degraded into heat for irreversible processes.

Heat Engines: A device converting heat into work.


First steam engine was built in 1769.
First thermodynamics analysis was done by Sadi Carnot in 1824.

BC: adiabatic, q = 0, w2 = U = CV (T1 T2 ) = CV (T2 T1 ) > 0, (T2 > T1 )
AB: isothermal, U = 0, w1 = q 2 = RT2 ln

CD: isothermal, U = 0, w3 = q1 = RT1 ln

VD
VC

DA: adiabatic, q = 0, w4 = U = CV (T2 T1 ) = CV (T1 T2 ) < 0


Net work done = w = w1 + w2 + w3 + w4 = area enclosed by the cycle.
On a P-V diagram, the area enclosed by the cycle is the work done. Work done by
the system = area enclosed (clockwise); work done on the system = area enclosed
(counterclockwise).
w = RT2 ln

In the two isothermal process:

PAV A = PBVB ;

PBVB = PC VC ;

In the two adiabatic process:

PCVC = PDVD .

PC VC = PBVB = PAV AVB

PDVD = PC VC VD 1 = PAV A

The combined statement of the first and the second laws of thermodynamics:

The first law:


dU = q w
If the process is conducted reversibly, the second law:
q
q rev = TdS ; and w = PdV
dS = rev , i.e.,
T
So,
dU = TdS PdV
Since U, T ,P, and V are all state functions. The above equations is in fact
applicable whether or not the process is reversible.
If the process is conducted irreversibly, then
q
dS =
+ dS irr ,
i.e.,
q = TdS TdS irr .
T
dU = q w = TdS TdS irr w
.
And
dU = TdS PdV + {TdS irr w + PdV }
Hence we must have {TdS irr w + PdV } = 0 , although dS irr 0 and
PdV w 0 . It simply says that work (PdV-w) is degraded into heat (TdSirr).

Then, temperature is defined as T =

We can write

If we choose U and V as independent variables and S as dependent variable,
