“…As noted in the Introduction, authors fall into two groups when defining work and heat. One group [3,4,[13][14][15]18,20,22,27,[29][30][31][32][33]38,[40][41][42][43]45] uses surroundings-based (''surr-based'') definitions for w and q. Thus, work is defined as the negative of the energy change in the surroundings that is potentially convertible into lifting or lowering a mass in the earthÕs gravitational field.…”
