For All Adiabatic Processes Between Two Specified States of A Closed System

1) For any adiabatic process between two states of a closed system, the net work done is the same regardless of the details of the path or system. 2) The work done in an adiabatic process is independent of the path taken between the initial and final states. 3) For an isolated system, if no work is done on the system, its internal energy remains constant according to the law of conservation of energy.

For all adiabatic processes between two specified


states of a closed system, the net work done is the same
regardless of the nature of the closed system and the
details of the process.

2.adiabatic work is independent of the


path

3.To go from a state A to a state B we can take a path that goes through the reference state, since
the adiabatic work is independent of the path

In particular, if no work is exerted on a thermally isolated system we have

or, in words,

The internal energy of an isolated system remains constant.

This is the law of conservation of energy.

δQ = TdS where T is temperature and S is entropy. Therefore, for a reversible process:

Since U, S and V are thermodynamic functions of state, the above relation holds also for non-
reversible changes. The above equation is known as the fundamental thermodynamic relation.
