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.

• 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.
