...consideration of Entropy and the Second Law. Carnot's cycle is first discussed, and by using the principle that heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body, it is shown that the ratio of the hea't taken from one reservoir to that given up to the other is a...

...all conceivable circumstances." He thereupon propounded the following as a fundamental principle : " Heat cannot, of itself , pass from a colder to a hotter body." 8. SPECIFIC HEAT. — There are two specific heats to every body ; they may be termed the apparent...

...Law of Thermodynamics also takes the form, which is really another way of presenting the same fact, that Heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body, nor can it be made so to pass by any inanimate material mechanism ; and that no mechanism can be driven...

...every case it is simply a question bow most conveniently to express and apply the general principle that heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body, the principle on which Fourier built his "Theorie de la Chaleur," and which revealed itself as the rationale...

Olausius is one of the founders of the modern science of thermodynamics...part of them are free to unite with other ions. These unconibincd ions, accordingly, are brought together under the action of the current at the anode and...

...to a simple proposition which has been universally accepted as the second fundamental law, namely: "Heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body"; it has been placed alongside of the first law (that heat and work are equivalent) of the mechanical...

...which is established the criterion of reversibility (Art. 139). With Clausius, the axiom was, (a) " Heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body; " while the equivalent axiom of Kelvin was, (6) "It in impossible, by means of inanimate material agency,...
