Key Concepts

First Law of Thermodynamics

This principle states that the change in a system's internal energy is equal to the net heat added to the system minus the work done by the system. It provides the framework to analyze how heat flow, compression (work done on the system), and expansion (work done by the system) combine to affect the internal energy and hence the temperature of a gas.

Internal Energy and Temperature Relationship

For many gases, particularly ideal gases, the internal energy is directly related to the temperature. An increase in internal energy typically manifests as an increase in temperature, but if the added heat is used to perform work (such as during expansion), the net change in internal energy–and thus temperature–may be reduced or even negative.

Work Interactions in Thermodynamic Processes

Work can either add to or subtract from a system's energy: when a gas is compressed, work is done on it, which tends to increase its internal energy and temperature; conversely, when a gas expands, it does work on its surroundings, which can decrease its internal energy and lower its temperature unless the heat input compensates for that work.
