According to first law of thermodynamics
Heat and work are mutually convertible
The first law expresses conservation of energy: \(\Delta U=Q-W\) for a closed system when kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible. Heat and work are modes of energy transfer and can be interconverted subject to this balance. Limits on complete heat-to-work conversion in a cycle come from the second law.
Important Questions from Statement of First Law of Thermodynamics
Which term of the following is defined by the first law of thermodynamics?
- A stationary mass of gas is compressed without friction from an initial state of 0.3 m3 and 0.105 MPa to a final state of 0.15 m3 and 0.105 MPa, the pressure remaining constant during the process. There is a transfer of 37.6 kJ of heat from the gas during the process. How much does the internal energy of the gas change?
The first law of thermodynamics is synonymous with the ______.
