<div>[[File:Thermo.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]Thermodynamics is concerned with energy change and how heat, temperature, energy, and work are correlated. <br />
<br />
==The Main Idea==<br />
<br />
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that all thermodynamic systems have a property called energy, and that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Even if the energy cannot be created or destroyed, power generation process and energy sources help the conversion of the energy from one form to an another. <br />
<br />
===A Mathematical Model===<br />
<br />
<math>∆U = Q-W</math> where <math>∆U</math> is change in the internal energy , <math>Q</math> is heat added to the system, and <math>W</math> is the work done by the system. In other words, change in internal energy is equal to flow of heat into a system minus work done on the system. While both <math>Q</math> and <math>W</math> are path functions, <math>∆U</math> is a path-independent state function, which means that it only depends on the current state of the system.<br />
<br />
===A Computational Model===<br />
<br />
http://jersey.uoregon.edu/vlab/Thermodynamics/<br />
<br />
This virtual experiment gives you visual representation of thermal equilibrium and how it is reached when beginning with different initial conditions.<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
===Solving for Change in Internal Energy===<br />
If 500 J of work is done on a system, and it gains 100 J of heat from its surroundings, then what is the change in internal energy of the system?<br />
<br />
Solution:<br />
<br />
<math>∆U = Q-W</math>, <math>Q= 100 J</math>, <math>W=-500 J</math><br />
<br />
<math>∆U = 100 J -(-500 J)</math><br />
<br />
<math>∆U = 600 J</math><br />

==Connectedness==<br />
1. How is this topic connected to something that you are interested in?<br />
* Thermodynamics is seen in all aspects of life, in everything from melting ice cubes to flipping switches to cooking. <br />
<br />
2. How is it connected to your major?<br />
* Thermodynamics is useful to know, and is covered in the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Engineers interested in passing the FE and other similar tests should have a strong foundation in thermodynamics.<br />
<br />
3. Is there an interesting industrial application?<br />
* Thermodynamics is relevant in the energy,transportation, and HVAC industries.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The First Law of Thermodynamics, in its current state, was first explicitly expressed by Clausius in 1850. In his Mechanical Theory of Heat, he stated that "in a thermodynamic process involving a closed system, the increment in the internal energy is equal to the difference between the heat accumulated by the system and the work done by it."<br />

<div>[[File:Thermo.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]Thermodynamics is concerned with energy change and how heat, temperature, energy, and work are correlated. <br />
<br />
==The Main Idea==<br />
<br />
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that all thermodynamic systems have a property called energy, and that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Even if the energy cannot be created or destroyed, power generation process and energy sources help the conversion of the energy from one form to an another. <br />
<br />
===A Mathematical Model===<br />
<br />
<math>∆U = Q-W</math> where <math>∆U</math> is change in the internal energy , <math>Q</math> is heat added to the system, and <math>W</math> is the work done by the system. In other words, change in internal energy is equal to flow of heat into a system minus work done on the system. While both <math>Q</math> and <math>W</math> are path functions, <math>∆U</math> is a path-independent state function, which means that it only depends on the current state of the system.<br />
<br />
===A Computational Model===<br />
<br />
How do we visualize or predict using this topic. Consider embedding some vpython code here [https://trinket.io/glowscript/31d0f9ad9e Teach hands-on with GlowScript]<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
===Solving for Change in Internal Energy===<br />
If 500 J of work is done on a system, and it gains 100 J of heat from its surroundings, then what is the change in internal energy of the system?<br />
<br />
Solution:<br />
<math>∆U = Q-W</math>, <math>Q= 100 J</math>, <math>W=-500 J</math><br />
<math>∆U = 100 J -(-500 J)</math><br />
<math>∆U = 600 J</math><br />

==History==<br />
<br />
The First Law of Thermodynamics, in its current state, was first explicitly expressed by Clausius in 1850. In his Mechanical Theory of Heat, he stated that "in a thermodynamic process involving a closed system, the increment in the internal energy is equal to the difference between the heat accumulated by the system and the work done by it."<br />

<div>[[File:thermo.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]Thermodynamics is concerned with energy change and how heat, temperature, energy, and work are correlated. <br />
<br />
==The Main Idea==<br />
<br />
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that all thermodynamic systems have a property called energy, and that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Even if the energy cannot be created or destroyed, power generation process and energy sources help the conversion of the energy from one form to an another. <br />
<br />
===A Mathematical Model===<br />
<br />
<math>∆U = Q-W</math> where <math>∆U</math> is change in the internal energy , <math>Q</math> is heat added to the system, and <math>W</math> is the work done by the system. In other words, change in internal energy is equal to flow of heat into a system minus work done on the system. While both <math>Q</math> and <math>W</math> are path functions, <math>∆U</math> is a path-independent state function, which means that it only depends on the current state of the system.<br />

<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
===Energy Transformation===<br />
By the photo, there is no energy made or destroyed. From eating a piece of chicken that has chemical energy will transform into kinetic energy when riding the bicycle. <br />
Also with the light energy of the sun will transform into chemical energy of the plant's leaf. This is an expample of energy transformation. <br />

<div>Thermodynamics is concerned with energy change and how heat, temperature, energy, and work are correlated. <br />
<br />
==The Main Idea==<br />
<br />
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that all thermodynamic systems have a property called energy, and that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Even if the energy cannot be created or destroyed, power generation process and energy sources help the conversion of the energy from one form to an another. <br />
<br />
===A Mathematical Model===<br />
<br />
<math>∆U = Q-W</math> where <math>∆U</math> is change in the internal energy , <math>Q</math> is heat added to the system, and <math>W</math> is the work done by the system. In other words, change in internal energy is equal to flow of heat into a system minus work done on the system. While both <math>Q</math> and <math>W</math> are path functions, <math>∆U</math> is a path-independent state function, which means that it only depends on the current state of the system.^1<br />

===A Computational Model===<br />
<br />
How do we visualize or predict using this topic. Consider embedding some vpython code here [https://trinket.io/glowscript/31d0f9ad9e Teach hands-on with GlowScript]<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
===Energy Transformation===<br />
By the photo, there is no energy made or destroyed. From eating a piece of chicken that has chemical energy will transform into kinetic energy when riding the bicycle. <br />
Also with the light energy of the sun will transform into chemical energy of the plant's leaf. This is an expample of energy transformation. <br />
