cyclic process, whose only purpose is to convert all the heat energy given to it into an equal
amount of work.
OR
It states that heat can flow from hot body to cold without any external aid but heat
cannot flow from cold body to hot body without any external aid.
OR
from a body at lower temperature to a body at a higher temperature without the aid of an
external agency.
heat reservoirs can be more efficient than a reversible engine operating between the same
reservoirs.

For isothermal process the piston moves very slowly and for adiabatic process
the piston moves as fast as possible. This speed variation during the same

For all the heat engines there will be a heat loss between system and surroundings.
Therefore we cant convert all the heat input into useful work.

the system is the same as that of the surrounding is called availability of the system.
21. Define available energy and unavailable energy.
Available energy is the maximum thermal useful work under ideal condition. The
remaining part, which cannot be converted into work, is known as unavailable energy.

Source is a thermal reservoir, which supplies heat to the system and sink is a
The entropy of an isolated system can never decrease. It always increases and
remains constant only when the process is reversible. This is known as principle of
increase in entropy or entropy principle.
