The Second Law of Thermodynamics:
Kelvin–Planck Statement
Related to heat engines
No heat engine can
convert all the heat it
receives to useful work.
Kelvin–Planck statement of
the second law of
thermodynamics:
It is impossible for any
device that operates on a
cycle to receive heat from a
single reservoir and produce
a net amount of work.

REFRIGERATORS
Typical COPR :
2.6–3.0 for cutting and preparation rooms;
2.3–2.6 for meat, deli, dairy, and produce;
1.2–1.5 for frozen foods;
1.0–1.2 for ice cream units
Typical EER of AC 8 - 12 (COPAC 2.3 - 3.5).
Typical COPHP 2 - 3.
EXAMPLE 6–3 Heat Rejection by a
Refrigerator
Related to refrigerators or
heat pumps
“It is impossible to
construct a device that
operates in a cycle and
produces no effect other
than the transfer of heat
from a lower-temperature
body to a higher-
temperature body.”

Max. Efficiency
Carnot’s Theorem:
All reversible engines operating between the same
two constant temperatures TH and TL have the same
efficiency.
Any irreversible engine operating between the same
two temperatures will have an efficiency less than
this.

A phony claim?
An engine manufacturer makes the following claims:
The heat input per second of the engine is 9.0 kJ at
475 K. The heat output per second is 4.0 kJ at 325 K.
Do you believe these claims?
