         The 1st law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy that internal energy change of a system equals net heat transfer minus net work done by the system. where heat and work are the methods of transferring energy for a system in thermal equilibrium. Q represents the net heat transfer—it is the sum of all heat transfers into and out of the system. Q is positive for net heat transfer into the system. W is the total work done on and by the system. W is positive when more work is done by the system than on it. The change in the internal energy of the system, ΔU, is related to heat and work by the first law of thermodynamics,                                               ΔU=Q−W.

internal energy

 

                    The relationship between internal energy and work can be understood by considering another concrete example: the tungsten filament inside a light bulb. When work is done on this system by driving an electric current through the tungsten wire, the system becomes hotter and deltaE is therefore positive. (Eventually, the wire becomes hot enough to glow.) Conversely, deltaE is negative when the system does work on its surroundings.
                      The sign conventions for heat, work, and internal energy are summarized in the figure below. The internal energy and temperature of a system decrease (deltaE < 0) when the system either loses heat or does work on its surroundings. Conversely, the internal energy and temperature increase (deltaE > 0) when the system gains heat from its surroundings or when the surroundings do work on the system.
                      

Work done in any adiabatic (Q=0) process is path independent.
