How does the ideal efficiency of an automobile relate to the temperature of the engine and the temperature of the environment in which it operates? Be specific.

Ideal efficiency proves an upper limit to all heat engines. Friction is always present in all engines, and efficiency is always less than ideal. Only some of the heat can be converted to work, even if the environment conditions are ideal. Heat is expelled to the environment via the cooling system and exhaust.

False

A refrigerator moves heat from cold to warm. Why does this not violate the second law of thermodynamics?

The refrigerator uses a pump to move a fluid around, compress and evaporate the fluid, causing it to absorb and release heat. The cooling of the interior of a refrigerator does not violate the laws of thermodynamics because work has to be input to the system in order to run the compressor that helps pump the heat out of the refrigerator.In each instance where there is heat transfer, the heat moves from the warmer to the colder part of the system - in keeping with the second law. Also, the 2nd Law can have exceptions.
