    Thanks for the reply, I understand that now. The video is actually quite misleading.

    Undergrad Ideal Gases under Adiabatic Compression

    I'm having trouble understanding what happens to the internal energy of an ideal gas being compressed adiabatically. If DU = DQ + DW, then as we do work PdV compressing the gas, since in adiabatic processes DQ=0, W the change in internal energy is non-zero, so U must increase. But if...
