    Why is conversion of heat into work not possible without a sink at lower temperature?

    For a gaseous system, if heat rejected by the system is 100 J and work done by the system is 20 J , then change in internal energy is

    Calculate the heat rejected by a system in going through the cyclic process shown in figure.

    Statement-I : There is a natural asymmetry between converting work to heat and converting heat to work. Statement-II : No process is possible in which the sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work.
