Abstract
The production of useful work by means of the ideal "van't Hoff equilibrium box" is considered in detail. It is shown that useful work arises according to the scheme “reaction energy → heat → useful work” without violation of the second law of thermodynamics, even at constant temperature, using the heat evolved by a reaction. Van't Hoff equilibrium box divided in two parts can produce simultaneously heat (in volume 100 % from theoretical one) and useful work (in volume 100 % from theoretical one) without violation of the first law of thermodynamics.
