QR = heat rejected
W = net work
• Available energy is that part of the heat that was
converted into mechanical work.
• Unavailable energy is the remainder of the heat
that had to be rejected into the receiver (sink).
Kelvin-Planck Statement:
– All energy received as heat by a heat-engine cycle cannot be
converted into mechanical work.
Carnot Engine
• is a hypothetical engine that operates on the reversible Carnot
cycle. The basic model for this engine was developed by Nicolas
Leonard Sadi Carnot.
A cylinder contains m mass of
a substance.
The cylinder head, the only
place where heat may enter
or leave the substance
(system) is placed in contact
with the source of heat, hot
body, into the substance in
the cylinder isothermally,
process 1-2, and the piston
moves from 1’-2’.
2
Next, the cylinder is removed
from the hot body and the
insulator I is placed over the
head of the cylinder, so that
no heat may be transferred
in or out. As a result, any
further process is adiabatic.
The isentropic change 2-3
now occurs and the piston
moves 2’-3’.
3
When the piston reaches the
end of the stroke 3’, the
insulator I is removed and the
cylinder head is placed in
contact with the receiver or
sink, which remains at the
constant temperature T3.
Heat then flows from the
substance to the sink and the
isothermal compression 3-4
occurs while piston moves
from 3’-4’.
4
Finally, the insulator I is again
placed over the head & the
isentropic compression 4-1
returns the substance to its initial
condition, as the piston moves
from 4’-1’
