  •  heat engine is a device that converts thermal energy (heat) into mechanical work. they are crucial components in various applications, including power generation, transportation, and industrial processes
    • ΔU = Q - W
    • ΔU
    change in internal energy of the system
    • Q
    heat added to the system
    • W
    Work is done by the system
    • If work is done...
    Internal energy of a system changes.
    • “Heat Can do Work”
    Energy transferred to a system in the form of heat can be used to perform work or contribute to changes in the system's internal energy.
  • Several factors influencing the amount of work done
    • The work done (W) is directly proportional to the pressure change (P) in many processes, especially those involving compression or expansion.
    • The work done is directly proportional to the change in volume (ΔV), particularly in processes where expansion or compression occurs.
    • The type of process can impact the work done. For example, isobaric processes (constant pressure) involve direct relationships, while isochoric processes (constant volume) have no work done.
  • Several factors influencing the amount of work done:
    • In isothermal processes (constant temperature), the work done is directly proportional to temperature. In adiabatic processes (no heat exchange), the relationship is complex.
    • The nature of the system affects the work done, with different materials or substances exhibiting different behaviors under changing conditions.
    • Mechanical efficiency considerations, which account for losses, can lead to lower actual work output compared to the theoretical maximum.
  • ΔU = Q - W:
    The change in internal energy of the system is equal to the heat input minus the work done by the system. If the internal energy of the system increases, more heat is added than the work done, and if the internal energy decreases, more work is done than heat added
  • Efficiency = W / Q:
    • The efficiency of a heat engine, for example, is often expressed in terms of the ratio of work output to heat input.
