Chapter 6
From second law of thermodynamics we found that complete conversion of heat into work
is not possible in a continuous process. Also it has been proved that the most efficient cycle to
produce work is a reversible power cycle (Carnot cycle). Even in carnot cycle, the efficiency of
conversion can never be unity and hence to establish a comparison of the work-energy conversion
in actual processes, the maximum theoretical work obtainable with respect to some datum must
be determined. This chapter is dedicated for this objective.
Available energy, which under ideal conditions may be completely converted into
work
Unavailable energy which is usually rejected as waste.
Consider Q units of heat energy available at a temperature T. Available part of energy can
be obtained by assuming
that the heat is supplied to a Carnot engine. Work obtained from the
T To T
carnot engine Q is the available part. The quantity o Q is the unavailable part. In a
T T
T-S diagram these quantities can be represented as shown in the fig 6.1. The term T0 is the
ambient temperature. Hence it can be concluded that the available and unavailable part of energy
content of a system depends on the ambient conditions also.

In an open system a fixed volume in space known as control volume is taken for analysis.
Hence the atmospheric work term po(V1-V2) should not be considered. Therefore
6.4 Availability
The maximum useful work that can be obtained from the system such that the system comes
to a dead state, while exchanging heat only with the surroundings, is known as availability of the
system. Here the term dead state means a state where the system is in thermal and mechanical
equilibrium with the surroundings.
Therefore for a closed system availability can be expressed as
= (U U o ) + po (V Vo ) To (S S o )
similarly for an open system
= (H H o ) To (S S o )
In steady flow systems the exit conditions are assumed to be in equilibrium with the
surroundings. The change in availability of a system when it moves from one state to another can
be given as:
for a closed system
1 2 = (U 1 U 2 ) + po (V1 V2 ) To (S1 S 2 )

6.6 Irreversibility
Work obtained in an irreversible process will always be less than that of a reversible
process. This difference is termed as irreversibility (i.e) the difference between the reversible
work and the actual work for a given change of state of a system is called irreversibility.
I=Wrev Wact
Let a stationary closed system receiving Q kJ of heat is giving out W act kJ of work. From first law
of thermodynamics.
Q - Wact = U2 U1
Wact = U1 U2+Q
= T0(s)system+TO ssurroundings
=T0(s)universe

Since (s)universe will be positive for an irreversible flow, irreversibility will be zero for a
reversible process and will never be negative.
