Description
Work [J] is a specific form of energy, called exergy, performed by a closed or open system on its surroundings (the environment). This is the definition of external work, which is zero in isolated systems. The term exergy includes external and internal work. Mechanical work is force [N] times path length [m]. The internal-energy change of a closed system, dU, is due to external exchange (e) of work and heat, and work is the internal-energy change minus heat,
detW = dU - deQ
Abbreviation: deW [J]

Pressure-volume work
- Pressure-volume work, dVW, at constant pressure, is the gas pressure, p [Pa = JΒ·m-3], times change of volume, dV [m3],
dVW = -pΒ·dV [J]
- The available work, deW, is distinguished from external total work as [1]
deW = detW - dVW
- The enthalpy change, dH, at constant pressure, is defined as internal-energy change minus pressure-volume work,
dH = dU - dVW
