For the “ideal gas” working fluid , we write

hence, eq. (1') becomes

(a) Given are m = 1 kg, T1 = 100°C, and x 1 = 0.5. The path is constant
volume.
(b) To pinpoint state (2), we must
determine two properties at
the final state. The first one is

(c) To find T2 and P2, we must first locate state (2) on the P(v, t) surface
(or tables). At state ( 2), we know u 2 and v2; therefore, one way to
 proceed is to look at the table of superheated steam properties and
find the u values of order 3662 kJ /kg. This is the equivalent of
traveling along the u = u2 line and looking for the v value that comes
co mes
closest to v2. This search leads to this portion of the table:
T P = 0.5 MPa P = 0.6 MPa
v u v u
⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯

800°C 0.9896 3662.1


3662.1 0.8245 3661.8
⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯

Fitting v 2 between 0.9896 and 0.8245, we interpolate linearly for


 pressure and find
2 
0.592
0.592 MPa
The final temperature is T 2 ≅ 800°C.
(d) At state (2), the system is superheated steam. This particular fluid
approaches ideal gas behavior if near state ( 2) the following two
conditions are met:
(i) u = u(T)
(ii) Pv = RT, i.e., Pv / T = constant
Condition (i) is satisfied, as shown by the u values listed in the
 preceding table. (u depends on T, while being practically
independent of P.) As a way of testing condition (ii), we calculate
the group (Pv/T) for the states immediately
im mediately to the left and right of
state (2):
 Pv  ( 0.5)106 ( 0.9896 ) P a m 3 / kg

Condition (ii) is also satisfied (approximately, of course); therefore,


the ideal gas model could be used to describe the behavior of the
system at states that are sufficiently close to state ( 2).
Observation: Note the use of absolute temperature in the
denominators of the (Pv/T) calculations presented above.

Investigating the possible signs of Q 1 and Q2, we see three options:

(ii) Q1 > 0 and Q 2 > 0
(iii) Q 1Q2 < 0
Option (i) is ruled out by the first law (1) and the assumption that W is positive.
Option (ii) is a violation of the Kelvin-Planck state ment (2.2). In order to see this
violation, consider system B, which executes one complete cycle while
communicating with (T 1) such that
QB   Q1

Since the net heat transfer interaction experienced by (T 1) is zero, Q1 + Q B = 0, the
(T1) reservoir completes a cycle at the end of the cycles executed by A and B. The
aggregate system [A + B + (T 1)] also executes a complete cycle. This cycle is
executed while making contact with (T 2) only. The net heat transfer interaction of
this cycle is positive

Option (iii), in which Q 2 is the negative of the two heat transfer interactions,

in the text for W > 0.
In the special case of W = 0, the first law requires that Q 1 = −Q2. The second law
(2.27) reduces to

which means that
(a) if Q1 is positive, then (T 1 − T2) cannot be negative, or
(b) if Q1 is negative, then (T 1 − T2) cannot be positive.
In less abstract terms, (a) and (b) mean that in the absence of work transfer, the

 Note, however, that the counterclockwise option violates the Kelvin-Planck


statement of the second law. This means that the original assumption on which
options (i) and (ii) are based is false (i.e., that two reversible and adiabatic paths
cannot intersect at state 1).
Is state 2rev unique on the V = V 2 line? Worth noting is that options (i) and (ii) are
 both compatible with the Kelvin-Planck statement in the case where state 2 rev (or,
for the matter, any other state 2 rev on the V = V 2 line) coincides with state 2 rev. In

Starting again from state A (3 partitions present), we remove two partitions at a


time. We have the following choices and results:
Regarding the number of paths from A to B, we can have the following
scenarios:
(i) Removing a single partition each time, we have 3 × 2 = 6 choices,
therefore 6 possible paths.
(ii) Removing a single partition in the first step and two partitions in
the second, we have 3 × 1 = 3 choices, meaning 3 paths.
(iii) Removing two partitions in the first step and a single partition in
the second, we have again 3 × 1 = 3 choices, hence 3 paths.
(iv) Removing all three partitions at the same time, one path.
The total number of paths is then 6 + 3 + 3+1 =13.

Assume first that the end state is (b), in other words, that the piston is

The objective is to show that the quantity
q uantity calculated with eq. (5) is positive (i.e.,
that the quantity between accolades { } is greater than 1). The proof that { } > 1 is
even stronger if we replace the factor (Mg/A)P 1 by its ceiling value, which is listed
on the left side of the inequality (3). In other words, if we prove that

Both sides of the inequality (7) are monotonic in (V 2 / V1). The inequality is
clearly correct in the limit V 2/V1 → ∞. To see its true sign in the opposite limit,
V2/V1 → 1, let

and rewrite eq. (7) side by side as

This form reduces to

which certainly validates eq. (7) in the limit ε → 0. The inequality (7) i s true for
all values of V2/V1 in the range (1, ∞) beca use the derivative of the left side of eq.
(7) with respect to (V 2/V1) is always greater than the derivative of the right side,

Consider nex t the process (a) → (c), which occurs when eq. (3) is violated. The

where P3 = Mg/A. This result makes it easy to verify that when P 1 = P3 the piston
does not move at all, V 3 = V1. Finally, the entropy generated during the process (a)

In the opposite limit (x → ∞ ), the inequality is correct. It is correct also at
intermediate x’s, because the same inequality exists between the d( )/dx slopes of
the left and right sides of eq. (10), respectively.
