Week #1 Highlights

Basically, to recap what we talked about in workshop last week:

-Laws of thermodynamics are broken down into the "system" and its "surroundings"

-The First Law of Thermodynamics states that internal energy for a system is the sum of heat absorbed by the system, and work done on the system (ΔE=q+w)

-Changes in a thermodynamic state happen when processes occur between the system and the surroundings.
