First law of thermodynamics. See

We shall discuss adoption of a convention for the sign for work of expansion -(Frames 7, 9, 14 and 15) and use it when we discuss in more detail the gas expansion processes (Frame 9). Also (FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS - see Frames 2, 8) the internal energy change, A U for the overall process in Figure 1.1 (i.e. gas at Vf and 7j -> gas at Vf and Tf) (being a state function) is identical for both paths between the SAME initial and final states (and so is route independent). 

Whenever a given amount of energy is added to or removed from a system, either as heat or as work, the energy of the system changes by that same amount. Thus the equation AE = q -t w is another way of expressing the First Law of Thermodynamics (see Section 15-1). 

The energy balance equation states that the rate of increase in specific internal (thermal) energy in a control volume equals the rate of energy addition by conduction plus the rate of energy dissipation. The principle of energy conservation is also described by the first law of thermodynamics see Section 5.2. If a constant density is assumed, the energy equation can be written as ... 

The concept of entropy is attributed to Carnot (1824) for his deep insight prior to the statement of the First Law of Thermodynamics (see Feynman et al. 1963, Vol. I, Chap. 44), although the introduction of the term entropy is due to Clausius in 1850 (Kestin 1979). Here the fundamental idea of entropy is examined on the basis of Carnot s concept. Then, based on the discussion of Prigogine (1967 Kondepudi... 

We need to explain the bizarre name of this law, which is really an accident of history. Soon after the first law of thermodynamics was postulated in the mid nineteenth century, it was realized how the law presupposed a more elementary law, which we now call the zeroth law (see below). We call it the zeroth because zero comes before one. But scientists soon realized how even the zeroth law was too advanced, since it presupposed a yet more elementary law, which explains why the minus-oneth law had to be formulated. 

First Law of Thermodynamics. The total amount of energy within a closed system is constant (/.e., the total energy of the system is conserved). Mathematically, this can be expressed as AU = q + w where At/ is the change in internal energy, q is the heat transferred to the system, and w is the work done on the system (or, dU = dq + dvr). Internal energy is a state function (/.c., it is dependent only on the initial and final states and not on the path between those states). In addition, the validity of the first law means that perpetual motion machines are impossible. See Conservation of Energy... 

Already, you should be thinking to yourself But the particles in solids really don t move that mnch and you are certainly correct. They do move or translate in the liquid state of that same solid, however, and don t forget about rotation and vibration, which we will see in subsequent chapters can be very important in solids. But along this line of thinking, we can simplify the First Law of Thermodynamics, which in general terms can be written for a closed system (no transfer of matter between the system and surroundings) as...

Equation 3.3 is an expression of the first law of thermodynamics for the separation in useful and useless energy of the energy from heat. Equation 3.1 is clearly not an expression of the first law but, as we shall see later, an implication of the second law. In this context, it is worth recalling Baehr s formulation of the first and second laws [4] ...

A kinetic system is a system in unidirectional motion. It is not in a state of equilibrium, and although conforming to the first law of thermodynamics (conservation of energy), it escapes the complete restriction of the second law. Consequently, with fewer constraints on the system, and thus more freedom, the system becomes more difficult to describe. In fact, as we shall see later on, this difficulty in description becomes one of the real obstacles in the path of a satisfactory kinetic treatment. An even more formidable obstacle to description, however, lies in the multiplicity of essentially nonequilibrium factors which may under different conditions play a decisive role in determining the reaction path. There is, a priori, no simple compact statement of what constitutes an adequate description of a kinetic system. It is not difficult to see why in terms of a simple analogy.
