In such a process, all changes in the internal energy of the system are due to work being done on or by the system. In this case, if the system is doing 20 J of work on the environment, then the work done by the system (W) is -20 J (negative because work is done by the system, not on it). According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy of the system (ΔU) is equal to the heat added to the system (Q) minus the work done by the system: ΔU = Q - W For an adiabatic process, since no heat is exchanged, Q is 0.
