The First Law of Thermodynamics, Also Known As The: Conservation of Energy Principle, Provides A Sound Basis For

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the conservation of energy principle, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed in form. This law provides a framework for studying energy and energy interactions. The conservation of energy principle can be expressed as the net change in a system's total energy during a process equals the difference between the total energy entering and leaving the system. The determination of a system's energy change involves evaluating its internal, kinetic, and potential energies at the start and end of a process.

 The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the

conservation of energy principle, provides a sound basis for


studying the relationships among the various forms of energy
and energy interactions.

 Based on experimental observations, the first law of


thermodynamics states that energy can be neither created nor
destroyed during a process; it can only change forms.
*ENERGY BALANCE FOR CLOSED SYSTEMS
 The conservation of energy principle can be expressed as follows:
The net change (increase or decrease) in the total energy of the
system during a process is equal to the difference between the
total energy entering and the total energy leaving the system
during that process. That is,
*Energy Change of a System, ∆E system

 The determination of the energy change of a system during a


process involves the evaluation of the energy of the system at the
beginning and at the end of the process, and taking their
difference. That is,
 The change in the total energy of a system during a process is the
sum of the changes in its internal, kinetic, and potential energies
and can be expressed as:

For stationary systems, the changes in kinetic and potential


energies are zero (that is, ∆𝐾𝐸 = ∆𝑃𝐸 = 0), and the total energy
change relation reduces to( ∆𝐸 = ∆𝑈) for such systems.
Energy balance for any system undergoing any kind of process can
be expressed more compactly as

Or, in the rate form, as:

 For constant rates, the total quantities during a time interval ∆𝑡 are related to the
quantities per unit time as:
