Abstract
Part I evinced the fallaciousness of Clausius' argument providing support for the reversible-processes version of the second law, and described in detail the corrected argument introduced by Post-Clausius Thermodynamics to eliminate the failures in reasoning present in the former and provide this way apparently foolproof support for the said law. In this second part we show this corrected argument to be at fault on reason of it subsuming an arbitrary notion without which the validity of the said law comes into question. What we consider to be the rational alternative to the said arbitrary notion is here advanced and an experimental proof suggested to recognize the truthfulness of one or the other. Note: The identifying numbers for sections and figures continue from those of Part I.
