Clausius Statement
CASE-2: Violation of Clausius statement leads to violation of Kelvin-planck statement
Thus Violation of Clausius Statement has lead to violation of Kelvin Planck Statements
Carnot Cycle: Carnot cycle is a reversible cycle that is composed of four reversible processes,
two isothermal and two adiabatic.
Process 1 - 2 (Reversible Isothermal Heat Addition)
Process 2
Process 3
Process 4
(Q net)cycle =

:
1. The efficiency of an irreversible heat engine is always less than efficiency of a reversible one
operating between the same two reservoirs.
2. The efficiencies of all reversible heat engines operating between the same reservoirs are the
same.
Clausius Inequality
The cyclc integral of
for totally or just reversible cycle and the inequality for the irreversible ones.
