GEC221 N

The document discusses the conditions for reversibility in thermodynamics including absence of friction, no finite pressure difference, and no heat transfer. It also covers the 1st law of thermodynamics and corollaries including that the internal energy of a system equals the net heat supplied minus the net work done.

COROLLARIES
The Internal energy of a system, du is
= to the difference between the net
heat supplied and the net work done by
the system.

the first kind is impossible, i.e. since a
machine cannot produced work
continuously without absorbing heat
from the surroundings.

When a system

Work input to a system = -W

the system from the


surrounding is = to
the net work done
by the system on
the surroundings.

Heat received by the system = +Q


Heat rejected or given up by system = -Q
