Which of the statements below is true? Multiple Choice Errors introduced by the constant-specific heat assumption are minimized when the specific heat values are always evaluated at room temperature. A heat engine transforms work into heat. According to the Clausius inequality for reversible cycles, the value of the cyclic integral = 0. In comparison between an adiabatic and an isothermal compression process, the adiabatic compression requires the minimum amount of work and the isothermal compression requires the maximum amount of work. Entropy change for any isothermal process is inversely proportional to the temperature of the system.

Which of the following are statements of the second law of thermodynamics? Check all that apply. A perfect heat engine with 100% efficiency can only be built with a Carnot design. The entropy of a closed system can never decrease. Energy can not be created or destroyed, only converted from one for to another. Heat does not flow spontaneously from a cooler to a hotter object. The coefficient of performance of a heat pump will always be less than 1.

1. Which one of the following statements is consistent with the second law of thermodynamics? a) The temperature of an ice cube can sometimes be lowered as it spontaneously gives heat to the surroundings. b) Heat flows spontaneously from a hot object to a cooler object. c) The internal energy of a system is determined by the flow of heat into or out of the system and the amount of work done. d) The specific heat capacity at constant volume of a monatomic gas is different than that of a diatomic gas. 2. What occurs within a closed system with regard to its entropy, according to the second law of thermodynamics? a) The entropy of the closed system can only increase. b) The entropy of the closed system can only decrease. c) The entropy of the closed system can only remain constant. d) The entropy of the closed system can either remain constant or increase. 3. Which one of the following statements best describes the operation of a heat engine? a) A heat engine transfers heat from a higher temperature reservoir to a lower temperature reservoir through work performed on the system. b) A heat engine transfers heat from a lower temperature reservoir to a higher temperature reservoir through work performed on the system. c) A heat engine decreases the entropy of the universe by generating an equal amount of heat and work. d) A heat engine uses input heat to perform work and rejects excess heat to a lower temperature reservoir.
