 First law of thermodynamics
First Law of thermodynamics states that :
Whenever heat Q is given to a system, a portion of heat is used to
increase its internal energy in the amount of DU, whereas the
remaining leaves the system when the system performs a work W to
its surroundings.
Mathematically, the first law of thermodynamics is formulated by :

Q>0 Q = DU + W

W positip jika sistem melakukan usaha

W negatip jika sistem dikenai usaha
Q positip Jika sistem menerima kalor
W>0 W<0
Q negatip jika sistem melepas kalor
Energi dalam DU tidak terpengaruh oleh proses,
yang dilihat adalah hanya pada keadaan awal dan
keadaan akhir

Q<0
The first law of thermodynamics for isothermal
process

At isothermal Process : DT = 0, so DU = 0
The work done by the isothermal process is :
V2
W  nRT ln
V1
Q = DU + W = 0 + W = W

V2
Q = W  nRT ln

process

 The first law of thermodynamics for
isochoric process

At Isochoric process volume is constant, DV = 0,

so the work done W = PDV = 0, its produce :

Q  DU  W  DU  0

Q  DU  nRDT  nR(T2  T1 )

The first law of thermodynamics for adiabatic
process

Adiabatic process is a process without any transfer

of heat into or from the system (Q=0)and it
applies :
Q  DU  W
0  DU  W

W   DU   nR (T2  T1 )
