Energy interaction in a closed system
A closed system and its surroundings can
interact in two ways:
(a) by work transfer,
(b) by heat transfer.
These may be called energy interactions and
these bring about changes in the properties of
the system.
work
work is the product of force and distance
The action of a force on a moving body is
identified as work
N.m or Joule [1 Nm = 1 Joule],
Power is the rate at which work is done
J/s or watt
Work
Work - basic modes of energy transfer

Work
When work is done by a system, it is
arbitrarily taken to be positive, and
when work is done on a system, taken to be
negative
Displacement Work
Quasi-static process : is an infinitesimal slow process, where each state of the system
is pass through the equilibrium state.
Work is a path function
pdV-Work
Point-path functions
Work is depends on the path
of the process.
work is a path function
Thermodynamic properties (P,V,T) are all point functions.
For a given state, there is a definite value for each property.

The change in a thermodynamic properties are depends only
on the initial and final states of the system.
Cyclic Process
the initial and final states of the system are
the same.
The change in any property is zero
cyclic integral o f a property is always zero

Heat Transfer
Heat is defined as the form of energy that is
transferred across a boundary by virtue of a
temperature difference.
Energy transfer by virtue of temperature difference is
called heat transfer (Q - Joules)
Conduction : The transfer of heat between two bodies
in direct contact.
Radiation : Heat transfer between two bodies
separated by empty space or gases through
electromagnetic waves.
Convection: The transfer of heat between a wall and a
fluid system in motion.

Short Answer
What is an indicator diagram ?
An indicator diagram is a trace made by a
recording pressure gauge.
Define Quasi-static process ?
It is an infinitesimal slow process, where each
state of the system is pass through the equilibrium
state.
