Chapter 3, Problem 3.2CP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The physical basis for the result for a real gas according to which U is a function of V at constant T needs to be explained. The conditions at which U decreases on increasing V needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The First Law of Thermodynamics explains that heat is a type of thermodynamic processand a form of energy, thus, it follows the principle of conservation of energy. According to this, heat energy can’t be created or destroyed it can be transformed from one form to another.
