First Law of Thermodynamics: Statement
• The first formal statement of the first law of thermodynamics, by
Rudolf Clausius in 1850 was given for a thermodynamic system
undergoing a cyclic process:
• In all cases in which work is produced by the agency of heat,
a quantity of heat is consumed which is proportional to the
work done; and conversely, by the expenditure of an equal
quantity of work an equal quantity of heat is produced

Example 1
A piston–cylinder device initially contains steam at 200
kPa, 200°C, and 0.5 m3. At this state, a linear spring is
touching the piston but exerts no force on it. Heat is now
slowly transferred to the steam, causing the pressure and
the volume to rise to 500 kPa and 0.6 m3, respectively.
Show the process on a P-v diagram and determine:
(a) the final temperature of the steam
(b) the work done by the steam
(c) the total heat transferred.
