FORMS OF ENERGY
Three component of total energy of a system
Kinetic energy (Ek)
energy due to the translational motion of the system as a
whole relative to some frame of reference (usually the
earth’s surface) or to rotation of the system about some
axis.
Potential energy (Ep)
energy due to the position of the system in a potential
field (such as a gravitational or electromagnetic field).
Internal energy (U)
all energy possessed by a system other than kinetic and
potential energy; or
Energy due to translation, rotation, vibration &
electromagnetic interactions of the molecules, atom and
subatomic particle within the system.
TRANSFER OF ENERGY
In closed system (i.e. no mass is transferred across the system
boundaries while the process is taking place), energy may be
transferred between such a system and its surroundings in two
ways as heat or work.
Heat
Energy that flows as a result of temperature difference
between a system and its surroundings.
The direction of flow is always from a higher temperature to a
low one.
Heat is defined as positive when its transferred to the system
from the surroundings.
Work
energy that flows in response to any driving force other a
temperature difference, such as a force, a torque or a voltage
Work is defined as positive when it is done by the system on
the surroundings
FIRST LAW OF
THERMODYNAMICS
Law of conservation of energy, which state
that energy can neither be created nor
destroyed.

^ symbol is used to denote the specific
property (property divided by mass or by
mole) such as specific internal energy (Û
kJ/kg), specific volume ( m3/kg) and so on.
