Introduction to the Clausius Inequality Lesson
In Chapter 6, we:
-
Introduced
Clausius
andKelvin-Planck
Statements of the2nd Law
- Applied both statements of the
2nd Law
tothermodynamic cycles
. - Showed that the
Kelvin
andIdeal Gas Temperature Scales
were identicalthermodynamic temperature scales
. - Studied the
Carnot Cycle
and itsefficiency
. - Used the
Carnot Efficiency
to show that energy has quality as well as quantity.
In Chapter 7, we:
- Apply the
2nd Law
to the individual processes that might make up a thermodynamic cycle. - Introduce a new thermodynamic property called
entropy
. - Show how this new property can help us analyze both individual processes and cycles.
- Investigate how
entropy
is related to other thermodynamic properties. - Apply what we learn to some very special types of processes:
polytropic
processes andisentropic
processes.
We begin our study of
entropy
by considering theClausius Inequality
