Energy Transfer by Work
In general, work done is evaluated by
W1 2 F ds

Work is a means of transferring energy, it does not refer
to what is being transferred or stored within the system.
The value of W1 2 depends on the details of the
interaction taking place between the system and the
surroundings during a process, e.g., F(s), and not just the
initial and final state
By definition a state property is evaluated at a specific
time and is independent of the process
energy is a property of the system
work is not a property of the system

Other forms of Energy
In engineering, the change in total energy of a system is
considered to be made up of macroscopic contributions
such as changes in KE and gravitational PE of the system
as a whole relative to an external coordinate frame and
Internal Energy, U.
E2- E1= (KE2- KE1) + (PE2- PE1) + (U2- U1)
Consider the vigorous stirring of a fluid in a well
insulated tank
Energy is transferred into the system via work by the
paddle wheel, results in an increase in the system energy.
E2- E1= (KE2- KE1) + (PE2- PE1) + (U2- U1)= W

This transferred energy does not increase the KE or PE of
the system.
The change in system energy can be accounted for in
terms of internal energy of the fluid.
Changes in internal energy for solids, liquids, and gases
are evaluated using empirical data, e.g. U = f(T)
Microscopic Interpretation of Internal Energy
Energy is attributed to the motions and configuration of
the individual molecules, atoms and subatomic particles
making up the matter in the system.
Energy on molecular level associated with:
- Translation
- Rotation
- Vibration
- Molecular bonds
Energy on atomic level:
- Electron orbital states
- Nuclear spin
- Nuclear binding

Conservation of Energy for Closed System
A closed system can interact with its surroundings via
work as well as thermally
Energy can be transferred between the system and the
surroundings by thermal (heat) interactions
A process that involves work interactions but does not
involve thermal interactions is called an adiabatic
process
A process that involves thermal interactions is called a
nonadiabatic process
It has been shown experimentally that the net work done
by, or on, a closed system undergoing an adiabatic
process depends solely on the end states and not on the
details of the process.
E2 – E1 = -Wad
Sign convention for energy transfer by work:
Work done by the system is positive
Work done on the system is negative

For a quasi-equilibrium adiabatic gas compression or
expansion process the value of the polytropic exponent n
is fixed (n =1.4 for air) and thus the area under the curve
(work done) depends only on the end states
Consider an adiabatic process and nonadiabatic process
between the same two end states 1 and 2

Since the area under the two curves is different the work
done for each path is different, so Wad Wnonad
Since the end states for both processes are the same the
system would experience exactly the same energy change
in each of the processes, so
(E2 – E1)ad = (E2 – E1)nonad = E2 – E1
We know the energy change for the adiabatic process is
E2 – E1 = -Wad
But since Wad Wnonad we can infer that
E2 – E1 -Wnonad
Since energy must be conserved the net energy transferred
to the system in both processes must be the same. It
follows that the heat interaction in the nonadiabatic
process must involve energy transfer. The amount of
energy transferred to the closed system by heat is Q
E2 – E1 = -Wnonad + Q
The First Law of Thermodynamics states:

E2 – E1 = Q - W
Energy Transfer by Heat
The quantity Q in the First Law accounts for any energy
transferred to a closed system during a process by means
other than by work.
Such energy transfer Q is induced only as a result of a
temperature difference between the system and the
surroundings and occurring in the direction of decreasing
temperature, e.g. heat transfer: conduction, convection,
radiation
Sign convention for energy transfer by heat:
Heat transfer to the system is positive
Heat transfer from the system is negative
Consider the immersion of a lump of hot metal initially at
Tm into a colder fluid at Tf
Tm Tm > Tf

Because the metal is at a higher temperature than the fluid
energy is transferred from the metal to the fluid, Q is
negative.
Since there is no work done and the change in KE and PE
is negligible, the amount of heat transferred from the
metal to the fluid is equal to the decrease in the metal
internal energy,
WQPEKEU
U2 - U1 = (-Q) or Q = U1 – U2
Just like work, heat is not a property and the amount of
energy transfer depends on the process details, therefore
