Applications of the First Law of Thermodynamics by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The first law of thermodynamics applies to closed, open and isolated systems. For closed systems, the general equation states that the change in internal energy is equal to the total amount of heat transferred plus the work done. Open systems exchange mass with the outside, while isolated systems do not exchange mass or energy. The first law also applies to industrial devices such as air compressors that operate in a steady state.
