Abstract
- We discuss the general conditions under which reversible thermodynamic work, like reversible heat, admits an integrating factor. We present simple examples in which work does and does not admit an integrating factor, and briefly comment on the significance of this integrating factor if it exists. Resumen. Analizamos las condiciones generales bajo las cuales el trabajo termodinamico reversible, como ocurre con el calor reversible, admite un factor integrante. Damos ejemplos sencillos en los que el trabajo reversible admite un factor integrante, y ejemplos en los que el factor integrante no existe. Tambien comentamos brevemente el significado, cuando existe, de dicho factor integrante.
