Clausius Inequality (Cont’d)<br />

Therefore, the work W c which could not be a<br />

positive quantity in the regular case, cannot be<br />

a negative quantity in the reversed case.<br />

Then it follows that W C int rev =0 since it cannot be<br />

positive or negative quantity and therefore<br />

<br />

Q<br />

<br />

<br />

T <br />

intrev<br />

Thus we conclude that the equality in the<br />

Clausius inequality holds for totally or just<br />

internally reversible cycles and the inequality<br />

for the irreversible ones.<br />
