the heat is turned into work done by the system

Nyla Hendrix · Answer 2

the temperature increases

Adding heat flow to the law of conservation of energy gives the first law of thermodynamics. "When heat flows to or from a system, the system gains or loses an amount of energy equal to the amount of heat transferred." Heat added to a system = increase in internal energy + external work done by the system.
