功 (熱力學)

热力学功是热力学系统与其环境相互作用并传递能量的一種过程。这种能量传递会在热力学系统外部产生可测量的宏观力，例如提升重物時所做的机械功Kittel, C. Kroemer, H. (1980). Thermal Physics, second edition, W.H. Freeman, San Francisco, ，或是引起电磁场Guggenheim, E.A. (1985). Thermodynamics. An Advanced Treatment for Chemists and Physicists, seventh edition, North Holland, Amsterdam, .Jackson, J.D. (1975). Classical Electrodynamics, second edition, John Wiley and Sons, New York, .Konopinski, E.J. (1981). Electromagnetic Fields and Relativistic Particles, McGraw-Hill, New York, .、引力场参量North, G.R., Erukhimova, T.L. (2009). Atmospheric Thermodynamics. Elementary Physics and Chemistry, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (UK), .的变化。同样，环境也可对热力学系统做功。
