Figure 18.1.3 PV Work Using a frictionless piston, if the external pressure is less than Pint (a), the ideal gas inside the piston will expand, forcing the piston to perform work on its surroundings. The final volume ( Vf) will be greater than Vi.
READ MOREIn thermodynamics, work performed by a system is the energy transferred by the system to its surroundings. Kinetic energy, potential energy and internal energy are forms of energy that are properties of a system. Work is a form of energy, but it is energy in transit. A system contains no work, work is a process done by or on a system.

Identify instances of the first law of thermodynamics working in everyday situations, including biological metabolism. Calculate changes in the internal energy of a system, after accounting for heat transfer and work done.
READ MORESo, our formula is W=F⋅d. But in thermodynamics, this definition is a little impractical. So instead, we use pressure - volume work. Its formula is W=−PdV. Let''s break this down a bit. We can see that work has the same units as energy. Remember force is measured in Newtons (N). The expanded form of a Newton is kg×ms2.
READ MOREThis definition reverses the sign conventions for work, and results in a statement of the first law that becomes Δ E int = Q + W Δ E int = Q + W.) It is not surprising that W = P Δ V W = P Δ V, since we have already noted in our treatment of fluids that pressure is a type of potential energy per unit volume and that pressure in fact has units of energy divided by
READ MOREThe joule (J) is the metric unit of measurement for both work and energy. The measurement of work and energy with the same unit reinforces the idea that work and energy are related and can be converted into one another. 1.0 J = 1.0 N∙m, the units of force multiplied by distance. 1.0 N = 1.0 kg∙m/s 2, so 1.0 J = 1.0 kg∙m 2 /s 2.

READ MOREIn a thermodynamic system, however, this formula is the most used and most widely applicable: W = Δ U − Q. Where W is the work done on or by a system, Q is the heat that enters or leaves a system, and Δ U is the change in the internal energy of a system. The formula above is the mathematical expression of the first law of thermodynamics.

Thermodynamics is principally based on a set of four laws which are universally valid when applied to systems that fall within the constraints implied by each. In the various theoretical descriptions of thermodynamics these laws may be expressed in seemingly differing forms, but the most prominent formulations are the following.
