This lecture covers the fundamental concept of energy conservation in closed systems, emphasizing the transfer of energy through work and heat. Examples are provided to illustrate the application of the first law of thermodynamics. Additionally, the lecture delves into thermodynamic cycles, explaining their significance and the two general classes: power cycles and refrigeration/heat pump cycles. The performance and efficiency of these cycles are analyzed, highlighting the importance of thermal efficiency and the limitations imposed by the laws of thermodynamics.
