Is it possible to construct a
To explain: Whether it ispossible to construct a heat engine that will not produce any thermal pollution.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
According to Second law of Thermodynamics, the entropy of a system cannot decrease and for reversible process it is constant.
Where,
A heat engine which will not produces any thermal pollution is not possible because in the case the efficiency of the engine is 100% which is not possible practically. According of thermodynamics the entropy cannot decreases, so in the heat is there an energy loss in from hotter body to cooler body and a heat engine in which the energy loss is zero is not possible experimentally.
Conclusion:
Hence, it is not possible to construct a heat engine that will be free from thermal pollution.
