Description

When a system changes from a given initial state to a given final state, both the work W and the heat Q depend on the nature of the process. Experimentally, however, we find that the quantity Q – W is the same for all processes. It depends only on the initial and final states, and does not depend at all on how the system gets from one state to the other. All other combinations of Q and W, including Q alone, W alone, Q + W, and Q - 2W, are path dependent; only the quantity Q – W is not.

LATEST CHOZI LA HERI GUIDE
Jalada la Riwaya ya Chozi la Heri ni tokeo la usanii wake , Robert Kambo. Katika upande wa mbele sehemu ya juu, mna rangi ya kijani kibichi iliyokolea. Maana ya rangi hii ni uhai na rutuba. Riwayani yamo maeneo yaliyo na rutuba yanayotoa mazao mengi. Katika eneo la Msitu wa Heri alikoishi Ridhaa kwa miongo mitano, mwanzoni kulikuwa kama jangwa la Kalahari lakini Ridhaa alihakikisha kuwa kijiji hiki kimepata maji ya mabomba hadi eneo zima likatwaa rangi ya chanikiwiti. Miti mingi kama Miambakofi, mivule na miti mingine kapandwa. Maeneo mengine yaliyokuwa na rutuba ni kama Msitu wa Mamba. Watu waliogura makwao walipohamia hapa walikata miti na kupanda vyakula kama mahindi ambayo yalifanya vizuri mno.
