In order to understand the relationship between heat, work, and internal energy, we use the first law of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics applies the conservation of energy principle to systems where heat and work are the methods of transferring energy into and out of the systems.

Heat is the transfer of energy due to a temperature difference, while internal energy is the total energy contained within a system, including both the kinetic energy of particles and potential energy due to their interactions.
3.4 First law of thermodynamics – internal energy The first law of thermodynamics expresses that energy is conserved, when all forms of energy, including heat, are taken into account.
11 lip 2021 · Derivation of the formula for calculating transferred heat. According to the first law of thermodynamics, the transferred heat results from the difference between the change in internal energy ΔU and the pressure-volume work W v: \begin{align}\ &\boxed{ Q + W_\text{v} = \Delta U} ~~~~\text{first law of thermodynamics}\\[5px] \label{put}
The first law of thermodynamics is essentially an energy conservation law. Both heat and work are energy transfer mechanisms. They play an important role in the first law of thermodynamics. Table 4.4.1 summarizes the main differences between heat and work, and internal energy.
Here, we want to understand how work is done by or to a thermodynamic system; how heat is transferred between a system and its environment; and how the total energy of the system changes under the influence of the work done and heat transfer.
Describe the work done by a system, heat transfer between objects, and internal energy change of a system. Calculate the work, heat transfer, and internal energy change in a simple process. We discussed the concepts of work and energy earlier in mechanics.
