WORK - 1
DEFINITION: transfer of energy into or out of a system which is not considered as HEAT
E.G.:
• Compression : pushing a piston (see below)
• Expansion
Then, we get:
WORK - 2
PRESSURE: usually it changes during the compression:
1. No difficulty for infinitesimal change in volume, which will correspond to a negligible
pressure change
2. When it changes significantly during the compression, we need to divide the process
into many steps, apply the work equation for each step and add up all the little works
to get the total work
When the volume of a gas changes and its pressure is constant, the work
done on the gas is minus the area under the graph of P-V.
The same is true when the pressure is not constant
WORK - 3
1. PRESSURE CONSTANT: the work done is minus the area under the graph
P-V
2. PRESSURE NOT CONSTANT: we divide the process into a bunch of tiny
steps, compute the area under the graph for each step, then add up all
the areas to get the total work. Then, the work is still minus the total area
under the graph P-V

An isolated system is a thermodynamic system that cannot exchange either energy or matter
outside the boundaries of a system
An isolated system differs from a closed system by the transfer of energy. Closed system are only
closed to matter, but energy can be exchanged across the system’s boundaries
FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS – OPEN
• SYSTEM its surroundings.
System that freely exchanges energy and matter with
• For instance, when you are boiling soup in an open saucepan on a stove, energy and matter
are being transferred to the surroundings through steam.
• The saucepan is an open system because it allows for the transfer of matter (for example
adding spices in the saucepan) and for the transfer of energy (for example heating the
saucepan and allowing steam to leave the saucepan).

FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS – CLOSED
SYSTEM
• Putting a lid on the saucepan makes the saucepan a closed system.
• A closed system is a system that exchanges only energy with its surroundings, not matter. By
putting a lid on the saucepan, matter can no longer transfer because the lid prevents matter
from entering the saucepan and leaving the saucepan.
• The saucepan allows energy transfer. Imagine putting the saucepan on a stove and heating it.

FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS –ISOLATED
SYSTEM
• The thermos, does not allow for energy transfer, and does not allow matter transfer because
it has a lid that does not allow anything to enter or leave the container.
• As a result, the thermos is what we call an isolated system.
• An isolated system does not exchange energy or matter with its surroundings. For example,
if soup is poured into an insulated container (as seen below) and closed, there is no exchange
of heat or matter.

FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS -
System - A
Container full of gas
A System - B
Where A is included
B • No exchange of energy
• No exchange of matter
Energy can be converted from one form to another, but the total amount of energy
in the system never changes (Law of Conservation of Energy)
