22.2 Limitations of Third Law of Thermodynamics
(i) These changes occur only in single direction. They do not occur in opposite direction by themselves. For example. water does not flow itself from lower to the upper level.
(ii) Work can be done by a spontaneous change.
For example; The motion of a piston by an expansion of gas, rotation of a wheel when water falls on it from some height, etc.
(iii) For a spontaneous change for an isolated system.
$$\Delta S = Positive$$
(iv) When it is not an isolated system
$$\Delta {S_{(Surrounding)}} = \frac{{q\left( {Reversible} \right)}}{T}$$
For a Reversible process
$$\Delta {S_{\left( {system} \right)}} + \Delta {S_{\left( {Surrounding} \right)}} = \frac{{q\left( {\operatorname{Re} versible} \right)}}{T} + \frac{{q\left( {\operatorname{Re} versible} \right)}}{T} = 0$$
For Non-reversible process
$$\Delta {S_{\left( {Total} \right)}} = \frac{{q\left( {\operatorname{Re} versible} \right)}}{T} - \frac{{q\left( {\operatorname{Re} versible} \right)}}{T} > 0$$
