Question

If a heat engine produces work only by interacting with one source. What kind of machine is this?

यदि कोई ऊष्मा इंजन केवल एक स्रोत के साथ क्रिया करके कार्य उत्पन्न करता है, तो यह किस प्रकार की मशीन है?

A.

Perpetual motion machine of 1st kind (PMM1)

B.

Perpetual motion machine of 2nd kind (PMM2)

C.

Perpetual motion machine of 3rd kind (PMM3)

D.

None of these

Answer ( Option B)

Perpetual motion machine of 2nd kind (PMM2)

Solution

Perpetual motion machine of the second kind (PMM2):
  • A fictitious machine that produces net work in a complete cycle by exchanging heat with only one reservoir is called the PMM2.
  • It violates the Kelvin-Plank statement.
  • Thus, it violates the second law of thermodynamics and It is a hypothetical machine.

Perpetual motion machine of the first kind (PMM1):

  • The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only get transformed from one form to another form.
  • An imaginary device which would produce work continuously without absorbing any energy from its surroundings is called a Perpetual Motion Machine of the First kind, (PMMFK).
  • A PMMFK is a device which violates the first law of thermodynamics. It is impossible to devise a PMMFK.
  • The converse of the above statement is also true, i.e., there can be no machine that would continuously consume work without some other form of energy appearing simultaneously.
  • PMM-I violates the first law of thermodynamics.
