Answer / rakesh nagdev
The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of the
universal law of increasing entropy, stating that the
entropy of an isolated system which is not in equilibrium
will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum
value at equilibrium.

Answer / prasadsurendranaik
it is impossible to take energy from sink to source unless
use of externnal force
whenever you operate a heat engines between same sourse &
sink it has same efficiency

Answer / hari prasad
It is impossible to construct a device that operates in a
cycle and produces no
effect other than the removal of heat from a body at one
temperature and the
absorption of an equal quantity of heat by a body at a
higher temperature.
