Chemical Thermodynamics John Murrell Introduction
... Atoms and molecules have energies and we can relate these to the macroscopic energies that arise in thermodynamics; for this discussion we will ignore the difference between U and H, which we have seen is generally small. For a low pressure gas we can multiply the molecular energy by Avogadro’s con ...

... We have found a limit on the efficiency of an engine. How good is this limit? In other words, is the upper bound on efficiency attainable? From our derivation of the upper bound it is clear that to attain it one must create no net entropy in the environment after each cycle. In particular, the entro ...
