1) A rigid walled tank 5m3 contains helium at 10 bar. The cylinder is heated from 10 °C to 50 ° C. What is the work done during the heating cycle.
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another.
In a closed system, energy can only be transferred between the system and its surroundings, but the total energy of the system remains constant.
The equation is Q = ΔU + W, where Q is the heat transferred to the system, ΔU is the change in the internal energy of the system, and W is the work done on or by the system.
No, the first law of thermodynamics is a fundamental law of nature and cannot be violated. Energy conservation is always upheld in a closed system.
The first law of thermodynamics is applicable in many areas, such as power generation, refrigeration, and chemical reactions. It is also important in understanding the behavior of engines, heat pumps, and other energy conversion systems.
