What reading level is An Investigation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Consequently, the replacement of the theory of inde- structible material heat by the conversional theory necessarily causes this "denial" to become untenable.
Carnot subsequently arrived at this same conclusion, and is explained farther on.
Also, it may here be mentioned as an interesting fact that the late Henri Poincare, throughout his writings, frequently expressed dissatisfaction with the "second law, " and in one instance as follows: "The second law of thermodynamics does not seem to be co...m- patible with the first law. " It seems that the manner by which he arrived at this con- clusion has never been disclosed.
In a manner which does not involve the nature of heat, Carnot showed that a cyclic acting machine to effect "perpetual motion of the second kind" means a combination of a heat motor with a heat pump, in which the thermodynamic agent of the motor must be more efficient than that of the pump, by an amount sufficient to overcome the mechanical inefficiencies of the entire apparatus, in addition to the useful work derived; and that, when the appa- ratus is assumed to operate in a perfect manner, that is, free from all manner of irreversibleness, the assumption of imperativeness neces- sarily imposes the following principle: "The motive power of heat is independent of the agents em- ployed to realize it; its quantity is fixed solely by the tempera- ture of the bodies between which is effected, finally, the transfer of the caloric.
