Thermodynamics Tutorial Sheet

The document is a tutorial sheet on thermodynamics that contains 8 problems. It provides definitions for the change in internal energy (E) in terms of heat (Q) and work (W). It then lists several thermodynamic problems involving ideal gases and phase changes of substances. The problems calculate various thermodynamic properties including work, heat, internal energy, temperature, pressure, volume, and entropy during processes like isothermal expansion/compression and phase changes.
