Statement:
The cyclic integral of dQ/T for a reversible cycle is zero.
Proof:
Assume an irreversible and a reversible engine. The efficiency of a reversible engine is always greater than that of an irreversible engine.
$ηi ≤ ηr$
$1-dQ_2/dQ_1 ≤ 1- T2/T1$
$dQ_2/T2 ≤ dQ_1 /T1$
$dQ_2/T2 - dQ_1 /T1 ≤ 0$
but Q1 and Q2 are in opposite directions
hence, $dQ_2/T2 + dQ_1 /T1 ≤ 0$
$∫dQ/T ≤ 0$
