:<math>\oint \frac{dQ}{T} \leq 0</math>


where ''Q'' is the [[heat]] and ''T'' is the [[temperature]]. This equation becomes an equality for a reversible cycle. This theroem has recently been derived without making use of the [[Second law of thermodynamics]] <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3592531 Denis J. Evans, Stephen R. Williams, and Debra J.
