INTERNAL ENERGY

Specialty Definition: INTERNAL ENERGY

DomainDefinition

Aerospace

A mathematically defined thermodynamic function of state, interpretable through statistical mechanics as a measure of the molecular activity of the system. It appears in the first law of thermodynamics as du = dq - dwwhere du is the increment of specific internal energy, dq the increment of heat, and dw the increment of work done by the system per unit mass. The differential du is a perfect differential. Its integral therefore introduces a constant of integration, the zero-point internal energy , so that care must be taken when absolute values of the internal energy are employed. (references)

Specialty Definition: Internal energy

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system refers to the kinetic energy associated with the motion of molecules, and the potential energy associated with the rotation and vibration of atoms within molecules.

For systems consisting of molecules, the internal energy is partitioned among all of these types of motion. In systems consisting of single atoms, such as Helium gas, the internal energy consists only of the kinetic energy of the individual atoms.

Internal energy is a fundamental property of thermodynamics. In equations, it is designated by the letter U.
