...merit, their correctness was here at once assailed, by the declaration that the fundamental principle, that heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body, is untrue. To prove this two phenomena relating to electric currents are adduced. But in a rejoinder...

...all conceivable circumstances. He thereupon propounded the following as a fundamental principle : " Heat cannot, of itself, pass from a colder to a hotter body." The words - of itself,' here used for the sake of brevity, require, in order to be completely understood,...

...intervention of any mechanism doing work. This would be contrary to the second law of thermodynamics, that heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body, a law which is found to hold whenever tested by direct experiment, and one which has never led to false...

...consideration of Entropy and the Second Law. Carnot's cycle is first discussed, and by using the principle that heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body, it is shown that the ratio of the hea't taken from one reservoir to that given up to the other is a...
