Kinetic energy transfer between molecules (touching a hot pan). Convection: Energy transfer via moving fluids (a cooling fan). Radiation: Energy transfer via electromagnetic waves (sunlight). 6. The First Law Connection Work and Heat are linked by the First Law of Thermodynamics , which is basically a balance sheet for energy: cap delta cap U equals cap Q minus cap W
Both work and heat are path functions . This means the amount of energy transferred depends on how the system got from state A to state B, not just the starting and ending points.
The area under the curve on a $PV$ diagram represents the work done during a process. This visual aid reveals a crucial insight:
Most engineering texts adopt the :
