Q.

According to Kelvin-Planck’s statement of second law of thermodynamics,

  • AIt is possible to construct an engine working on a cyclic process, whose sole purpose is to convert heat energy into work
  • BIt is impossible to construct a device which operates in a cyclic process and produces no effect other than the transfer of heat from a cold body to a hot body
  • CIt is impossible to construct an engine working on a cyclic process, whose sole purpose is to convert heat energy into work
  • DNone of the above
Correct Answer : (C)

It is impossible to construct an engine working on a cyclic process, whose sole purpose is to convert heat energy into work

Hints :
Previous

The kinetic energy per kg molecule of any gas at absolute temperature T is equal to (where Ru = Universal gas constant)

Next

Kinetic theory of gases assumes that the collisions between the molecules are
