Second law of Thermodynamics

There are two classical statements of the second law of thermodynamics:
Kelvin & Planc"No (heat) engine whose working fluid undergoes a cycle can absorb heat from a single reservoir, deliver an equivalent amount of work, and deliver no other effect"
Clausius
"No machine whose working fluid undergoes a cycle can absorb heat from one system, reject heat to another system and produce no other effect"
