Question

Study the following statements regarding second law of thermodynamics. I. Kelvin and Planck's statements deny the possibility of a perfect refrigerator or heat pump. II. Clausius statement denys the possibility of a perfect heat engine. Choose the correct statement. (A) Only I (B) Only II (C) Both I and II (D) Neither I nor II

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Kelvin and Planck's statements deny the possibility of perfect heat engine and Clausius statement denys the possibility of perfect refrigerator.
Kelvin-Planck statement No process is possible whose sole result is absorption of heat from a reservoir and the complete conversion of the heat into work.
Clausius statement No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a colder object to a hotter object.
So, neither statement I nor II is correct.
