In one complete cycle, a heat engine extracts heat Qh from a thermal reservoir, does work W and does not eject any heat into the environment. This heat engine is impossible because its operation violates:
- Conservation of energy (1st Law) only
- 2nd Law only
- Both 1st Law and 2nd Law
- Neither 1st nor 2nd law
