The specific heat at constant volume is a property of the system because it is a derivative of the
two propert ies. The units of c
v
in SI are J/kg K, although in engineering it is usual to quote the values in
kJ/kg K.
1.5.6 THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS IN THE ABSENCE OF KINETIC
AND POTENTIAL ENERGY EFFECTS
If the kinetic and potential energy terms are removed from Eqn (1.13) then the First Law equation
becomes
dQ dW ¼ mu
2
mu
1
(1.17)
which in turn can be simplified to
dQ ¼ dU þ dW (1.18)
Most of the applications of the First Law will be based on the formulations in Eqns (1.17) and (1.18).
