Water of mass $m$ gram is slowly heated to increase the temperature from $T_1$ to $T_2$. The change in entropy of the water,given specific heat of water is $1 \ J \ g^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,is

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $m(T_2 - T_1)$
  • C
    $m \ln \left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)$
  • D
    $m \ln \left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)$

Why is a heat engine never $100\%$ efficient?

“Heat cannot by itself flow from a body at lower temperature to a body at higher temperature” is a statement or consequence of

$A$ solid body of constant heat capacity $1\,J/^{\circ}C$ is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways:
$(i)$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $2$ reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies the same amount of heat.
$(ii)$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $8$ reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies the same amount of heat.
In both cases, the body is brought from an initial temperature $100^{\circ}C$ to a final temperature $200^{\circ}C$. The entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is:

Which limitation of a heat engine is imposed by the second law of thermodynamics?
