The Second Law of Thermodynamics and Cyclic Processes.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the implications of an inequality proposed recently by Green and Naghdi in regard to the classical statement of the second law of thermodynamics associated with cyclic thermo-mechanical processes. The results obtained are compared with corresponding previous developments by Fosdick and Serrin and by Truesdell who employ the Clausius-Duhem inequality.
