Kinetic Energy:- Energy possessed  by the atoms or molecules by virtue of their motion  is called kinetic energy.
	
	
	
Internal Energy (ΔU):- Sum total of kinetic and potential energies of atoms/molecules constituting a system is called the internal energy of the system.

(e) Quasi-static process:- The process in which change in any of the parameters take place at such a slow speed that the values of P,V, and T can be taken to be, practically, constant, is called a quasi-static process.
(f) Cyclic process:- In a system in which the parameters acquire the original values, the process is called a cyclic process.
