State the first law of thermodynamics.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the amount of heat absorbed by a system capable of doing mechanical work is equal to the sum of the increase in internal energy of the system and the external work done by the system. Mathematically, `Delta Q = Delta U +Delta W = Delta U + P Delta V`.
