The article analyzes the first law of thermodynamics in terms of the classical law of energy conservation for thermodynamic systems formulated by J. R. Mayer, J. P. Joule and L. Helmholtz, as applied to contemporary piston engines with compression mixture in diesels. The prevailing factor in the system functioning (diesel engine) is the internal energy of a working mixture, rather than the heat input, as it was in the classical treatment of the first thermodynamic law. That is why, the wording of the law should be usefully changed from “heat delivered to the thermodynamic system is used for changing its internal energy and doing work against external forces” to “internal energy of a thermodynamic system determines the amount of heat given off inside the system and amount of work against external forces”. The mathematical form of the law and graphical interpretation of the theoretical thermodynamic Trinkler-Sabathe cycle are modified, accordingly. It has been stated that in practice the achievement of high technical and economic indices is provided by increasing the quality of working mixture: complete fuel evaporation in hot and moving medium, air/fuel ratio in the mixture in line with adopted standards of air/fuel proportion, high level of mixture homogeneity. The initial index to ensure highly efficient operation for reciprocating internal-combustion engines will be the internal energy of the working mixture which will determine the amount of heat emitted in the cylinder during mixture combustion and the amount of completed work against external forces.
