Hi, I'd appreciate discussion of the process in other representations/diagrams too. Most notably T-S repr. --83.208.93.77 00:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Needs explanation and more detail edit

The equations are not explained properly - the symbols aren't even defined (it is only implied that p is pressure, for example, and the others aren't described at all).

Where did the equation come from? (Evidence, applications, etc.) What does it mean? (Symbols, units, implications, etc.)

It would be great if people who didn't already have a degree in physics or engineering could understand this.

Thanks. 82.15.18.6 (talk) 21:31, 2 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

All variables can be defined by clicking the links to the laws above them. For example 'n' can be found by clicking into ideal gas law. Try clicking the links to laws and figuring it out comment again here and explain specific difficulties you had and I will address them by changing the page. This way we can assure people will be able to understand. Thanks. If you like check out a page I am currently writing for the ASU Geography Department, and tell me if you think it's more suitable and allows for a better grasp.

Differences in sign conventions should be shown edit

In some texts work done to the system is positive and in others it is negative, this is something that should be noted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.74.114.18 (talk) 05:23, 21 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I think the sign used in the article is wrong. If the work done by the system is considered positive, then it must be delta U minus W, as the internal energy must reduce.

errors edit

loads of this article is just wrong, things that are only true for reversible processes, and things that are only true for ideal gasses are quoted as true generally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.39.207 (talk) 11:06, 27 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
