The first law is often formulated as..
ΔU = Q - W
It states that the change in the internal energyΔU of a closed system is equal to the amount of heat Q supplied to the system, minus the amount of work W done by the system on its surroundings. An equivalent statement is that perpetual motion machines of the first kind are impossible.
