Peabody, Cecil H. (Cecil Hobart), 1855-1934 · New York, J. Wiley & sons; [etc., etc.] · leaf 40
the strip between the initial isothermal ab and the two adiabaticlines must be treated as finite, and that in consequence thegraphical process leads to an absolute zero of temperature. Onthe contrary, the area between the adiabatic ad and the twoisothermals an and do if extended infinitely will… … Fig. 32 SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS Upward, and if adiabatics are spaced off in the same manner.This conclusion comes from the fact pointed out on page 21,that the area under an isothermal curve which is extended with-out limit is infinite, because heat is continuously supplied, somepart of which…
