Resumo

THE FIRST LAW OF HOMOGENEOUS PROCESSES THERMODYNAMICS.Thermodynamics of homogeneous processes, which corresponds to the very special situation in thermodynamics of continuous media, is used to discuss the first law.An important part of this work is the exposition of some typical mathematical errors, frequently found in the traditional presentation of thermodynamics.The concepts of state and process functions are discussed, as well as reverse and reversible processes, temporality and its implications on thermodynamics, energy reservoirs and symmetry.Our proposal is to present the first law by using a time dependent viewpoint coherent with mechanics and the foundations of that viewpoint.
