THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
The first law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy
can be neither created nor destroyed. The energy of a system undergoing change (process)
can vary by exchange with the surroundings. However, energy can be converted from one
form to another within that system.
A system is a specified region, not necessarily of constant volume or fixed boundaries,
where transfer and conversions of energy and mass are taking place. An open system is one
where energy and mass cross the boundaries of the system. A steady-state open system, also
called the steady-state, steady-flow (SSSF) system, is a system where mass and energy
flows across its boundaries do not vary with time, and the mass within the system remains
constant.
An SSSF system is shown in Fig. .
The first-law equation for that system is

IE ϭ internal energy (ϭ U) . The internal energy is a sole function of temperature
for perfect gases and a strong function of temperature and weak function of
pressure for nonperfect gases, vapors, and liquids. It is a measure of the
internal (molecular) activity and interaction of the fluid.
FE ϭ flow energy (ϭ PV ϭ Pmv) . The flow energy or flow work is the work
done by the flowing fluid to push a mass m into or out of the system.
