vin vout PHY 231 Vout Vin Work is done on the gas 2 Non isobaric compression In general the pressure can change when lowering the piston The work done on the gas when going from an initial state i to a final state t t f iis th the area under d th the P P V V diagram The work done by the gas is the opposite of the work done on the gas PV nRT PHY 231 3 Work done on gas signs Work Area under the

heat transfer By transferring heat to an object the internal energy can be changed The change in internal energy depends on the work done on the object and the amount of heat transferred to the object object Remember the internal energy is the energy associated with translational translational rotational rotational vibrational motion of atoms and potential energy 6 PHY 231 First Law of
