| water | triple point | 7B7 | |
| Watt | Unit of power. 1W = 1 J / sec | 4A6 , 23 | |
| work | Energy transfer associated with a force acting through a distance. | 4A1 - 19, 4C1, 5B5 | |
| work | acceleration | Work associated with a change in velocity of a system | 4A20 , 26 |
| work | actual | 8D2 | |
| work | boundary | Work done on or by a system that results in a change in the volume of the system. As a result of this volume change, the boundary of the system moves. That is why Boundary Work is sometimes called Moving Boundary Work. | 4A9 - 15, 4C5, 5B9 |
| work | boundary | 4A9 - 15, 4C5, 5B9 | |
| work | electrical | Work is done on the system whenever electrons cross the boundary in response to an externally applied electrical potential. | 4C5, 5B9, 5E5 |
| work | flow | Also known as PV Work or Injection Work. The amount of work done on a system when a certain mass of fluid is pushed into the system, overcoming the system pressure at the systemboundary. It is also the amount of work done by a system when a given mass of fluid is pushed out of the system, overcoming the surrounding pressure at the system boundary. | 5B6 - 10 |
| work | gravitational | Work done by or against a gravitational field. | 4A20 , 24 |
| work | lost | 9D7 , 8 | |
| work | mechanical | Work associated with the movement of the boundary of a system or with the movement of the entire system as a whole. Examples include shaft work, boundary work and spring work. | 4A20 |
| work | PV | 4A9 | |
| work | reversible | 8D2 | |
| work | shaft | Work associated with energy transmission that is either driven by a rotating shaft (as in a pump or compressor) or that causes a shaft to rotate as in a turbine. | 4A20 - 23, 4C5, 5B9 |
| work | spring | Work that results in a change in the length or displacement of a spring. | 4A20 , 27 , 28 |
| work | system | 5B6 - 10, 5E5, | |
| work | thermodynamic definition | 4A2 | |
