Can anyone tell me if [itex]Internal\ Energy + Pressure * Volume[/itex] equals heat, total energy, energy in transit?
What if all energy is assumed to be in transit (heat all the way down)? Would that mean all energy is heat? I tend to think so for the following reason:
In a "complete" system (with no inputs and outputs):
[itex]Total\ (E)nergy=Internal\ Energy + Pressure * Volume[/itex]
Would imply that [itex]Internal\ Energy + Pressure * Volume[/itex] is constant. It would therefore mean any decrease in internal energy would be matched by a increase in [itex]pressure * volume[/itex]; this implies that entropy must increase if pressure * volume increases. We see this happening with the cores of planetary nebula. However, if pressure * volume decreases (i.e. internal energy increases), this implies an entropy decrease.
If volume became
Pressure*Volume would amount to "un-internal energy".
But am I wrong?
I'm trying to figure this out:

Oh wait... i think this is it:

Also, if radiation is emitted, at the finest particles and/or at the largest scales, does pressure * volume increase?
Is [itex]Internal\ Energy + Binding\ Energy = constant[/itex] a correct statement for closed systems?
