    This document is an assignment submission for a Thermodynamics course. It contains an explanation of the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant, and can be changed from one form to another but not created or destroyed. For a thermodynamic process without transfer of matter, the first law can be expressed as the change in internal energy of the system equals heat added minus work done. The document provides 3 sample problems demonstrating applications of the first law, with the calculations shown. It is signed off and submitted to the instructor, Engr. Loriemay Andaya.

    FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

    The first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy,


    adapted for thermodynamic processes, distinguishing two kinds of transfer of
    energy, as heat and as thermodynamic work, and relating them to a function of a
    body's state, called Internal energy.

    The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated


    system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be
    neither created nor destroyed.

    For a thermodynamic process without transfer of matter, the first law is often
    formulated

    = change in internal energy


    = heat added
    = work done by the system

    At least 3 sample problems with solution.

    1. 5000 J of heat are added to two moles of an ideal monatomic gas, initially at a
    temperature of 500 K, while the gas performs 7500 J of work. What is the final
    temperature of the gas?

    Solution:

    U = Q – W = 5000 J – 7500 J = -2500 J

    U = -2500J = (3/2) nR = (3/2)(2)(8.31) 

     = -100

     Tf = 500 – 100 – 400


    Comment : the gas does more work than it takes in as heat,

    So it must use 2500 J of its internal energy.

    2. Compute the internal energy change and temperature change for the two processes
    involving 1 mole of an ideal monatomic gas.

    (a) 1500 J of heat are added to the gas and the gas does no work and no work is done on
    the gas

    (b) 1500 J of work are done on the gas and the gas does no work and no heat is added or
    taken away from the gas

    Solution:

    (a) U = Q – W = 1500 J – 0 = 1500 J

    U = 1500 J = (3/2) nR = (3/2)(1)(8.31)


     = 120 

    (b) U = Q – W = 0 – (-1500 J) = +1500 J


    U = 1500 J = (3/2) nR = (3/2)(1)(8.31) 
     = 120 

    3. 2000 J of heat is added to a system and 2500 J of work is done on the system. What is
    the change in internal energy of the system?

    Known :

    Heat (Q) = +2000 Joule

    Work (W) = -2500 Joule

    Wanted: The change in internal energy of the system

    Solution :

    ΔU = Q-W

    ΔU = 2000-(-2500)

    ΔU = 2000+2500

    ΔU = 4500 Joule

    Internal energy increases by 4500 Joule.
