The second law of thermodynamics
1993To define a continuously operating heat engine To use the Carnot analogy to define the second law of thermodynamics. To introduce the concept of thermal efficiency as applied to a heat engine. To use the Carnot conclusion to introduce the absolute temperature scale.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics
1988This chapter presents the second law of thermodynamics. This law will conform to your intuition—once you understand its significance and can apply it properly to both closed and open systems.

The second law of thermodynamics
1996The first law of thermodynamics expresses the existence of the energy function U as a consequence of the conservation of energy; therefore, the change in energy, ΔU, for any process must take place without violating the conservation of energy whether a process is possible or impossible.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 1961Derivations of the mathematical statement of the second law of thermodynamics from the physical statements of Kelvin and Clausius are presented. Caratheodory's principle is obtained as a direct consequence of either Kelvin's or Clausius's statement.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics
2016As everyday experience shows, all natural phenomena are irreversible. The irreversibility establishes the arrow of time. Natural irreversibility has its own rules, which are stated in the second law of thermodynamics. We shall start giving the two historical statements, one due to Clausius, one due to Lord Kelvin, and then prove their equivalence ...

The Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
, 1974 When it came to be my turn to speak on a solemn occasion to this gathering, attended by so many to whom I owe my scientific education, I was well aware how difficult was the honourable duty I had undertaken and only reluctantly began to shoulder it. Forgive me, therefore, if I feel I must devote some words of apology to the very choice of my subject ...

The Second Law of Thermodynamics
2015Clausius was one of the principle architects of the science of thermodynamics. In 1850 he published a groundbreaking paper entitled On the Moving Force of Heat and the Laws of Heat which May Be Deduced Therefrom. In this paper he criticized the caloric theory of heat—upon which Carnot’s work had been founded—on the grounds that it violated the first ...

On the second law of thermodynamics
Journal of Statistical Physics, 1994The second law of thermodynamics has two distinct aspects to its foundations. The first concerns the question of why entropy goes up in the future, and the second, of why it goes down in the past. Statistical physicists tend to be more concerned with the first question and with careful considerations of definition and mathematical detail.

The first law of thermodynamics deals with relationships of quantitative values such as thermal energy and work, and it represents the energy conservation law, which denotes that the summation of all energy is constant. Considering only the first law, it seems easy to convert heat to work or work to heat, but it is known empirically that it is not true.
