First law of Thermodynamics

First law of thermodynamics - 

According to it heat given to a system (Q) is equal to the sum of increase in its internal energy (U) and the work done (W) by the system against the surroundings.

                                \Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W

                                              or For cyclic process

                               \sum \Delta Q = \sum \Delta W

 

Drawback of First law of thermodynamics -

  • First law of thermodynamics does not tell us reason about the direction of heat transfer.

 

Important points - 

  1. Q and W are the path functions but U is the point function.

  2. First law of thermodynamics introduces the concept of internal energy.
