We know that the steady flow energy equation for any kind of open system follows the energy balance concept.

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit III: Availability and Applications of II Law

Consider air heated from the temperature of T1 to T2 at constant volume and also heat transfer with the surrounding at To.

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit III: Availability and Applications of II Law

First law efficiency is defined as the ratio between net work output and heat supplied to the system.

Thermodynamics

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit III: Availability and Applications of II Law

Irreversibility is defined as the difference between maximum work and actual work obtained in a process.

Thermodynamics

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit III: Availability and Applications of II Law

A thermodynamic system undergoes a change of state through a reversible process until it comes to equilibrium with the atmosphere.

Solved Problems on Entropy: Availability and Applications of II Law - Engineering Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit III: Availability and Applications of II Law

As stated earlier, the entropy generation during the process depends on the change in entropy of the system and change in entropy of the surrounding.

Thermodynamics

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit III: Availability and Applications of II Law

As per the entropy concept, the entropy change of any system is more than the entropy transfer by an amount equal to the entropy generated during the process.

Third law of thermodynamics

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit III: Availability and Applications of II Law

The entropy of a pure crystalline substance at absolute zero temperature is zero.

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit III: Availability and Applications of II Law

Entropy principle is the quantitative approach of the second law of thermodynamics. It is due to irreversibility of the process.
