Specific Heat, Heat Capacity, First Law of Thermodynamics & Internal Energy Explained in Details.

Click on  http://fastrackengine.com/specific-heat-heat-capacity-thermodynamics-internal-energy/  for more details. First Law of thermodynamics- The   first law of   thermodynamics   is a version of the law of   conservation of energy (The  total   energy   of an   isolated system   is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but neither can it be created nor it can be destroyed.) The change in an internal energy in the system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system. (Change in Internal Energy) Δ U = (Heat added TO the system) Q – (Work done BY the system) W . To understand specific heat in details first we should understand about Internal Energy and how to measure it. The first law makes use of concepts like Internal Energy, Heat and System Work. Internal Energy- ( Δ U) ·        Internal energy is the molecular activity...
