Abstract
In thermodynamics, the total energy that the system under consideration has is called internal energy (U). Let w represent the amount of work done to a system and let q represent the amount of energy added to the system in the form of energy. Then, the amount of resultant change in internal energy, ΔU, can be calculated as Eq. (10.1).
