    1 of 5

    According to the Clausius inequality, what is the value of the cyclic integral of δQ/T for an arbitrary thermodynamic cycle operating between thermal reservoirs?

    • AIt is equal to zero for all cycles because entropy is a state function.
    • BIt is equal to zero for a reversible cycle and less than zero for an irreversible cycle.
    • CIt depends exclusively on the total mechanical work produced during the complete cycle.
    • DIt is always strictly positive for real systems.
