27. The Carnot Theorem states
that,
It is impossible for a refrigerator
working in a cycle to produce only
O the effect of absorbing heat from a
cold object and releasing the same
amount of heat to a hot object.
A process whose only net result is
to absorb heat from a cold reservoir
and release the same amount of
heat to a hot reservoir is impossible.
No engine working between two
given heat reservoirs can be more
O efficient than a reversible engine
working between these two
reservoirs.
No system can absorb heat from a
single reservoir and convert it
O entirely into work without additional
net changes in the system or its
surroundings.
O None of these
