... Δ P, it is possible to show that, for a cycle, the permanent change in the external energy of the heat reservoir is V ΔP. Thus, as ΔP approaches infinitesimal value, i.e. ΔP→ δP, reversibility is approached, i.e. when evaporation or condensation processes are carried out in such as a manner that pr ...

Notes on the second law of thermodynamics
... The first law of thermodynamics gives an overall law of energy conservation. Stated simply, the energy of an isolated system remains constant. For any subsystem, the energy change equals the difference between the heat added and the work done. The internal energy of a system depends on the state of ...
