Question

According to Kelvin-Plank's statement, a perpetual motion machine of ________ .

A.

first kind is possible

B.

first kind is impossible

C.

second kind is impossible

D.

second kind is possible

Answer ( Option C)

second kind is impossible

Solution

The Kelvin-Planck statement of the second law tell us that it is impossible to constructs a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

&Key Points:-

Wilhelm Ostwald introduced the concept of Perpetual Motion Machine of the Second Kind (PMMSK or PMM2) is a device which would perform work solely by absorbing energy as heat from a body. Such a device does not violate the first law of thermodynamics.

                                   

A PMMSK is a hypothetical device which working cyclically, receives energy as heat from a single thermal reservoirs, and delivers as equivalent amount of work. The Kelvin-Plank statement of the second law tells us that it is impossible to construct a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
