Thermodynamic temperature Second law of thermodynamics



for arbitrary heat engine, efficiency is:







η

w

q

h




=

q

q

h




=

q

c



q

h





(

)


{\displaystyle \eta ={\frac {w_{n}}{q_{h}}}={\frac {q_{h}-q_{c}}{q_{h}}}=1-{\frac {q_{c}}{q_{h}}}\qquad (1)}



where wn net work done per cycle. efficiency depends on qc/qh.


carnot s theorem states reversible engines operating between same heat reservoirs equally efficient. thus, reversible heat engine operating between temperatures t1 , t2 must have same efficiency, say, efficiency function of temperatures only:






q

c



q

h




=
f
(

t

h


,

t

c


)

(

)
.


{\displaystyle {\frac {q_{c}}{q_{h}}}=f(t_{h},t_{c})\qquad (2).}


in addition, reversible heat engine operating between temperatures t1 , t3 must have same efficiency 1 consisting of 2 cycles, 1 between t1 , (intermediate) temperature t2, , second between t2 andt3. can case if







f

t

,

t

)
=

q

=
f
(

t

,

t

)
f
(

t

,

t

)
.


{\displaystyle f(t_{1},t_{3})={\frac {q_{3}}{q_{1}}}={\frac {q_{2}q_{3}}{q_{1}q_{2}}}=f(t_{1},t_{2})f(t_{2},t_{3}).}



now consider case




t

1




{\displaystyle t_{1}}

fixed reference temperature: temperature of triple point of water. t2 , t3,







f
(

t

2


,

t

3


)
=



f
(

t

1


,

t

3


)


f
(

t

1


,

t

2


)



=



273.16

f
(

t

1


,

t

3


)


273.16

f
(

t

1


,

t

2


)



.


{\displaystyle f(t_{2},t_{3})={\frac {f(t_{1},t_{3})}{f(t_{1},t_{2})}}={\frac {273.16\cdot f(t_{1},t_{3})}{273.16\cdot f(t_{1},t_{2})}}.}



therefore, if thermodynamic temperature defined by







t
=
273.16

f
(

t

1


,
t
)



{\displaystyle t=273.16\cdot f(t_{1},t)\,}



then function f, viewed function of thermodynamic temperature, simply







f
(

t

2


,

t

3


)
=



t

3



t

2




,


{\displaystyle f(t_{2},t_{3})={\frac {t_{3}}{t_{2}}},}



and reference temperature t1 have value 273.16. (of course reference temperature , positive numerical value used—the choice here corresponds kelvin scale.)
