When a system is taken through the process abc shown in figure, 80 J of heat is absorbed by the system and 30 J of work is done by it. If the system does 10 J of work during the process adc, how much heat flows into it during the process ?
ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW
In abc, ΔQ=80 J, ΔW=30 J
So, ΔU=(80−30) J=50 J
Now in abc,
ΔW=10 J
So, ΔQ=10 J+50 J=60 J [∴ΔU=50 J]
