What is the carnot statement of the second law of thermodynamics?

The efficiency of a quasi-static or reversible Carnot cycle depends only on the temperatures of the two heat reservoirs, and is the same, whatever the working substance. A Carnot engine operated in this way is the most efficient possible heat engine using those two temperatures

Whose work on heat engines lead to the formulation of the second law of thermodynamics?
Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot wrote possibly the first text on the scientific analysis of heat engines. He is sometimes referred to as "the father of thermodynamics" for his work on this topic.
What law of thermodynamics is unavailable for doing work?
"Unavailable for doing work" is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
What is another name for the Law of Disorder?
Second Law of Thermodynamics
What law of thermodynamics explains the fact that if you drop an egg the shell will not spontaneously?
The second law.
What law states that entropy tends to increase over time?
The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
What law asserts that energy has qualify as well as quantity?
That statement is most closely related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Is a statement of the second law of thermodynamics?
An isolated system tend to equilibrium and entropy cannot decrease.

Why the first and second law of thermodynamics may be states you can not get ahead and you can not break even?
According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.
Which law of thermodynamics states that the heat engine cannot be completely efficient?
True
Who found the second law of thermodynamics?
It was said to be first put into words by Rudolph Clausius and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin.) But it was then said it was discovered by the French physicist Sadi Carnot 25 years earlier.
The fact that usable energy is always lost in an energy transfer is due to what 1 Newton's first law of motion 2 the second law of thermodynamics 3 Newton's second law of motion 4 the first l?
The second law of thermodynamics.
Who proved the second law of thermodynamics?
The second law is not so much proven as explained and justified. Like all laws of Science, it is considered a law because no contradictions to the law have ever been found and it is always successful in predicting what we observe in the physical world (within the limitations of what it is supposed to predict). The first to really identify, explain, and apply the second law was Sadi Carnot.
What law of thermodynamics is unavailable for doing work?
"Unavailable for doing work" is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Is entropy closely related to the 1st law of thermodynamics?
It is related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics
What law of thermodynamics tracks 'quality' of energy?
second law
What is another name for the Law of Disorder?
Second Law of Thermodynamics
