List and define in your own words the three components of the total energy of a process system and the two forms of energy transfer between a system and its surroundings. State the conditions under which heat and work are positive. Convert a quantity of energy or power (energy/time) expressed in any unit (e.g., J, dynecm, Btu, ft lbf/h, kW, hp) to its equivalent in any other dimensionally consistent units.
