Second law of Thermodynamics

According to Second law the engine based on the cyclic process is not possible in which we can convert all the heat into the work. There are a number of statements for the second law but the two most common statements are.

1. Kelvin plank statement

2. Clausius Statement

Kelvin plank statement: No process is possible whose sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and the conversion of all of this heat into work.

Clausius Statement: No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a colder to a hotter body.
