      Work performed by a closed system is the energy transferred to another system that is measured by mechanical constraints on the system.

      The second law of thermodynamics states that heat transfer occurs spontaneously only from higher to lower temperature bodies.

Heat is the energy transferred between two objects (or two parts of a system) because of a temperature difference. Internal energy of a thermodynamic system is its total mechanical energy.

      Heat is a measurable form of energy that can be transferred from one body to another; it is not a substance.

      The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas (in which there is no molecule to molecule interaction).

This interaction is given by the first law of thermodynamics, which argues you cannot get more energy out of a system than you put into it. We will see in this chapter how internal energy, heat, and work all play a role in the first law of thermodynamics.

It is usually formulated by stating that the change in the internal energy of a closed system is equal to the amount of heat supplied to the system, minus the amount of work done by the system on its surroundings. The law of conservation of energy can be stated like this: The energy of an isolated system is constant.
