The First Law (original) (raw)

Abstract

In the last chapter, you learned how to calculate the work done by and the heat transfer to a system that undergoes a specified change of state. On the other hand, you could not calculate the change of state caused by given values for the work and heat interactions. Furthermore, although you learned how to calculate the work done and heat transfer independent of one another, experience tells us that they are intimately related. Indeed there is a fundamental relation between the work done by a system, the heat transfer to the system, and its change of state. Exploring and exploiting this relation is one of the basic concerns of thermodynamics.
