通过摩擦而使功变热的过程是不可逆的 。
例如:飞轮转动,焦耳实验 ( 重物下落 ) 。
The initial potential energy of the rock changes to
kinetic energy as the rock falls,but you will never
see the reverse happen-a rock at rest on the
ground suddenly rise up in the air because the
internal energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
Some one-way processes P429-430
自然过程是不可逆的,是按一定的方向进行的。

Heat flows naturally from a hot object to a cold
object; heat will not flow spontaneously a cold
object to a hot object.

§ 18-3 Reversible and irreversible process (可逆过程与不可逆过程 ),p433
Reversible process(可逆过程 )
----无摩擦的准静态过程,
Reversible process is carried out infinitely
slowly,so that the process can be considered a
series of equilibrium states,and the whole
process could be done in reverse with no change
in magnitude of the work done or heat
exchanged.
Chapter 18 Second Law of Thermodynamics
准静态无摩擦过程为可逆过程可逆过程,在系统状态变化过程中,如果逆过程能重复正过程的每一状态,而不引起其他变化,这样的过程叫做可逆过程,
Chapter 18 Second Law of Thermodynamics
Irreversible process is one that can not be
reversed by means of small changes in the
environment.
在 不引起其他变化 的条件下,不能使逆过程重复正过程的每一个状态的过程称为不可逆过程,
(自然过程都是不可逆的 ) All real process are
irreversible.
非 准静态过程为不可逆过程,

历史上热力学理论最初是在研究热机工作过程的基础上发展起来的。热机是利用热来做功的机器。 1698
年萨维利和 1705年纽可门先后发明了 蒸汽机,当时蒸汽机的效率极低,1765年瓦特进行了重大改进,大大提高了效率,人们一直在为提高热机的效率而努力,从理论上研究热机效率问题,一方面指明了提高效率的方向,另一方面也推动了热学理论的发展,

如果工质做逆循环,即沿着与热机循环相反的方向进行循环,则在一次循环中,工质从低温库中吸热,向 高温热库放热,而外界必须对工质做功 W,由于工质 从低温库中吸热使它的温度降低,这种循环叫 致冷循环 。

or condenser)( 高温热库 ) 后,由于冷却水 ( 或周围空气 ) 放热而凝结为液态氨 (cool to become liquid)。 液态氨经节流阀 (low-pressure tube)的小口通道后,降压降温,再进入蒸发器 。 此处由于压气机的抽吸作用因而压强很低 。 液态氨将从冷库 ( 低温热度 ) 中吸热,
使冷库温度降低而自身全部蒸发为蒸气 。 此氨蒸气最后被吸入压气机进行下一循环 。

1824 年法国的年青工程师卡诺提出一个工作在 两 热源之间的 理想 循环 —卡诺 循环,给出了热机效率的理论极限值 ; 他还提出了著名的卡诺定理,
Chapter 18 Second Law of Thermodynamics
萨迪,卡诺是法国青年工程师,热力学的创始人之一,是第一个把热和动力联系起来的人 。 他出色地,创造性地用,理想实验,的思维方法,提出了最简单,但有重要理论意义的热机循环 —— 卡诺循环,并假定该循环在准静态条件下是可逆的,与工质无关,创造了一部理想的热机 ( 卡诺热机 ) 。
卡诺的目标是揭示热产生动力的真正的,
独立的过程和普遍的规律 。 1824年卡诺提出了对热机设计具有普遍指导意义的卡诺定理,指出了提高热机效率的有效途径,揭示了热力学的不可逆性,被后人认为是热力学第二定律的先驱 。

The entropy of an isolated system never
decreases,It either stays constant (reversible
process) or increases (irreversible process).
孤立系统中的熵永不减少,
Since all real processes are irreversible,we can
state the second law as:
The total entropy of any system plus that of its
environment increases as a result of any natural
process:

熵增加原理的应用,
给出自发过程进行方向的判据,
Entropy tells us the direction of process go,
Hence it has been called ―time’s arrow‖.
热力学第二定律亦可表述为,一切自发过程总是向着熵增加的方向进行,
熵增加原理与热力学第二定律熵的概念建立,使热力学第二定律得到统一的定量的表述,

piece of iron at temperature T1=880K is thrown into a
huge lake whose temperature is T2=280K,Assume
the lake is so large that its temperature rise is
insignificant,Determine the change in entropy (a) of
the iron and (b) of the surrounding environment(the
lake.
SOLUTION
Chapter 18 Second Law of Thermodynamics
In each examples,the entropy of our system plus
that of the environment either stayed constant or
increased.
