The first law of thermodynamics is often called the law of a conservation of energy. Using an appropriate close system diagram, illustrate the first law statement. Work and heat are two main forms of energy that can flow across a thermodynamic system boundary. Analysis of such a system requires understanding of the forms of energy in relation to system properties and state. State the key similarities between heat and work.
