EP 12 of the daily podcast, GET THE ROOM NOISE. "The first law of thermodynamics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics) is a version of the law of conservation of energy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy), adapted for thermodynamic processes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_process), distinguishing two kinds of transfer of energy, as heat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat) and as thermodynamic work (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(thermodynamics)), and relating them to a function of a body's state, called Internal energy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_energy). The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy) of an isolated system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated_system) is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed."
