Chapter 8. Second Law of Thermodynamics
The Second Law of Thermodynamics is used to determine the maximum efficiency
of any process. A comparison can then be made between the maximum possible
efficiency and the actual efficiency obtained.
1.25 STATE the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
1.26 Using the Second Law of Thermodynamics,
DETERMINE the maximum possible efficiency of a
system.
1.27 Given a thermodynamic system, CONDUCT an
analysis using the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
1.28 Given a thermodynamic system, DESCRIBE the
method used to determine:
- The maximum efficiency of the system
- The efficiency of the components within the system
1.29 DIFFERENTIATE between the path for an ideal
process and that for a real process on a T-s or h-s
diagram.
1.30 Given a T-s or h-s diagram for a system EVALUATE:
- System efficiencies
- Component efficiencies
1.31 DESCRIBE how individual factors affect system or
component efficiency.
