The 17 pages that link to Work (thermodynamics), each with the reason it gives.

• Heat transferCompared with: Thermodynamics distinguishes work from heat, which flows because of temperature difference.

• ThermodynamicsRelated: Work is the other principal mode of energy transfer in the first law.

• Heat pumpRelated: Electrical work drives the compressor and enables heat to move against its natural direction.

• Adiabatic processRelated: Work can change a system’s energy even when heat transfer is zero.

• Internal energyRelated: Work is the other principal way internal energy changes in the first law.

• Thermodynamic systemRelated: Work is another route for energy to cross the system boundary.

• Heat engineRelated: The engine’s useful output is work delivered during each cycle.

• Thermodynamic potentialCompared with: Work depends on the process path, unlike thermodynamic potentials.

• State functionCompared with: Work is path-dependent, so its value cannot be assigned to a thermodynamic state alone.

• Stirling engineRelated: The engine delivers mechanical work through pressure acting on a moving piston.

• Helmholtz free energyRelated: Helmholtz free-energy changes bound useful work in suitable isothermal processes.

• Thermodynamic processRelated: Work depends on how the system follows its path, not only on its endpoints.

• Thermodynamic efficiencyRelated: Many thermodynamic efficiencies count useful work as the desired output.

• Quasistatic processRelated: For slow boundary motion, pressure and volume change determine the mechanical work.

• Stirling cycleRelated: Expansion and compression produce the cycle’s net mechanical output.

• Carnot heat engineRelated: The engine converts part of its heat input into work.

• Laws of thermodynamicsRelated: Work is the other principal energy transfer in the first law.
