Path Function:
Their magnitudes depend on the path
followed during a process as well as the end
states. Work (W), heat (Q) are path functions.
17. State the Clausius Inequality theorem and what its inference is?
The Clausius theorem states that for a system exchanging heat with external
reservoirs is undergoing a cyclic process.

Thus, the Clausius Inequality is a consequence of applying the second law of
thermodynamics at each infinitesimal stage of heat transfer.

21. What are the difference between a Heat pump and Refrigerator?
Heat pump is to maintain a heated space at a high temperature.
Refrigerator is to maintain a refrigerated space at a low temperature.
