Practicing Success
If Q, U and W denote respectively the heat added, change in internal energy and the work done in a closed cycle process, then : |
Q = 0 W = 0 Q = W = 0 U = 0 |
U = 0 |
From the 1st law of thermodynamics, Internal energy for a cyclic process is zero. Q = U + W For cyclic process, U = 0, thus, Q = W \(\neq\) 0 |
