The
first law
of thermodynamics postulates that the variation of

Δu of a closed system interacting with its environment and undergoing an evolution, depends only on the initial state and the final state , which means that u is a
closed

.
The first law indicates that if the
internal energy
u of the system varies, there is an exchange of energy with the outside in the form of
closed

W and / or

Q , and that the sum of W and Q is equal to the internal energy variation of the system.
The first law can thus be written for a
closed

system in the form: Δu = W + Q
By convention, the energy

by a system is counted positively (its internal energy increases), and that given to the outside is counted negatively.
By revealing a quantity h called

such as Δh = Δu + Δ(Pv), the first law in an
closed

system is written: Δh = τ + Q.
h is also a state function.
The
enthalpy
thus appears simply as the

to open systems of internal energy for closed systems
