Chapter 20 Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy in the Real World: Engine • A heat engine, or more simply, an engine, is a device that extracts energy from its environment in the form of heat and does useful work. • At the heart of every engine is a working substance, such as water in steam engine or gasoline-air mixture in automobile engine. • For an engine to do work on a sustained basis, the working substance must operate in a cycle; that is, the working substance must pass through a closed series of thermodynamic processes, called strokes, again and again.
Chapter 20 Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy in the Real World: Engine • Carnot Engine • We start studying real engines by analyzing the behavior of an ideal engine. • In an ideal engine, all processes are reversible and no wasteful energy transfers occur due to, say, friction and turbulence. • We shall focus on a particular ideal engine called Carnot engine, proposed in 1824. • This ideal engine turns out to be the best (in principle) at using energy as heat to do useful work.
Chapter 20 Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy in the Real World: Engine • The next figure shows schematically the operation of a Carnot engine. • During each cycle of the engine, the working substance absorbs energy |QH| as heat from a thermal reservoir at constant temperature TH and discharges energy |QL| as heat to a second thermal reservoir at a constant lower temperature TL. • The working substance in the engine follows a certain cycle, called the Carnot cycle. • Imagine the working substance to be a gas, confined to an insulating cylinder with a weighted, movable piston. • At TH, heat |QH| is transferred from the reservoir as the gas undergoes an isothermal expansion from (a) to (b). • At TL, heat |QL| is transferred from the working substance to the low-temperature reservoir as the gas undergoes an isothermal compression from (c) to (d).
Chapter 20 Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy in the Real World: Engine • The net work per cycle is equal to the area enclosed by the cycle abcda. This work W is performed on some outside object, such as a load to be lifted. • As we know, any energy transfer as heat must involve a change in entropy. The plot of Carnot cycle on a temperature-entropy (T-S) diagram is shown below. • The two horizontal lines correspond to the two isothermal process of the Carnot cycle. At +QH, ΔS>0, while at –QL, ΔS<0. • The two vertical lines correspond to the two adiabatic process of the Carnot cycle. Since Q=0, ΔS=0.
Chapter 20 Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy in the Real World: Engine • The Work. To calculate the net work done by a Carnot engine during a cycle, using the first law of thermodynamics, ΔEint=Q–W, while ΔEint=0 since the gas will return again and again to any arbitrary state, • Entropy Change. In a Carnot engine, there are only two reversible energy transfers as heat, and thus two changes in the entropy of the working substance, one at TH and one at TL. • The net entropy change per cycle is then: • Because entropy is a state function, we must have ΔS=0 for a complete cycle, thus:
Chapter 20 Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy in the Real World: Engine • Efficiency of a Carnot Engine • We measure the success of an engine by its thermal efficiency ε, defined as the work the engine does per cycle divided by the energy it absorbs as heat per cycle: Efficiency, Any Engine • For a Carnot engine, Efficiency, Carnot Engine
Chapter 20 Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy in the Real World: Engine • Because TL<TH, the Carnot engine necessarily has a thermal efficiency less than unity, less than 100%. • Only part of the energy extracted as heat from the high-temperature reservoir is available to do work, and the rest is delivered to the low-temperature reservoir. • Later we shall prove, that no real engine can have a thermal efficiency greater than Carnot engine. It is thus impossible to create a perfect engine, in which |QL| is reduced to zero and |QH| is converted completely into work. • Through experience, the second law of thermodynamics can be stated in the following alternative version: • No series of processes is possible whose sole result is the transfer of energy as heat from a thermal reservoir and the complete conversion of this energy to work – There are no perfect engines
Chapter 20 Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy in the Real World: Engine • Stirling Engine • The next figure shows the operating cycle of an ideal Stirling engine. • This engine has isothermal heat transfers at temperature TH and TL, both connected by constant-volume processes at Va and Vb. • To increase the temperature of the working substance at constant volume reversibly from TL to TH, a transfer of energy as heat Q as heat is required. • Also, a reverse transfer is required to decrease the temperature from TH to TL. • Several other engines also use 4 steps of different processes in their single cycle. They are called 4-stroke engines: Otto Engine,Brayton Engine, Diesel Engine,and Humphrey Engine.
