Answers
According to the first law of thermodynamics, during any transformation, there is conservation of energy.
In the case of closed thermodynamic systems, it is stated as follows:
"During any transformation of a closed system, the variation of its energy is equal to the quantity of energy exchanged with the external environment, by thermal transfer (heat) and mechanical transfer (labor). "
ΔQ = ΔU + W
where,
Q = Heat supplied to system
U = Increase in internal energy
W = Work done by system
The variation of the energy of a system which undergoes a transformation can be expressed according to the following relation:
ΔE = ΔU + ΔEc + ΔEp = W + Q
ΔE = the sum of the different energy variations of the system.
ΔU = increase in internal energy
ΔEc = the variation of the macroscopic kinetic energy of the system
ΔEp = the variation of the potential energy of the system
ΔW = Work done by system
ΔQ = Heat supplied to a system
