Overview

1. What is Internal Energy?

2. Derivation of the $1^{st}$ law of thermodynamics

3. $0^{th}$ law of thermodynamics:-

   The law of Thermal Equilibrium

4. Types of Processes

   • Isothermal

     • PV = constant

     • Work done equation

     • Graphs

     • Slope of Graph derivation

   • Adiabatic

     • $PV^{\gamma}$ = constant

     • Work done equation

     • Graphs

     • Slope of Graph derivation

   • Isochoric

     • Volume is constant

     • Graph

     • $\triangle Q = \triangle U$

   • Isobaric

     • Meyer’s Relation

     • $\frac{C_p}{C_v} \; = \; \gamma$

   • Cyclic process → Internal Energy = Constant

   • Polytropic Process

     • $P\;V^{n}$ = constant
