Thermodynamics I - Chapter 2 Notes

1) This document discusses energy, the first law of thermodynamics, and thermal cycles. It defines various types of energy including internal, kinetic, potential, and discusses energy transfers as work and heat. 2) It explains the first law of thermodynamics for closed systems, and how it relates to changes in internal energy, heat transfer, and work. Cycles are discussed where the net change in energy and heat in must equal work. 3) Three main thermal cycles are covered - power, refrigeration, and heat pump cycles. Power cycles produce work from high-to-low temperature heat transfer. Refrigeration cycles keep low temperatures cold using work, and heat pumps do the opposite to keep high
