The first principle of thermodynamics under relativistic conditions and with allowance for surface tension was formulated. With the help of this law it was shown that the temperature of the system studied had varied according to H.Ott at the adiabatic and non-adiabatic acceleration, i.e., it (the temperature) had increased for the observer in the laboratory reference frame if the velocity of the object, in turn, had increased. A.Einstein considered that the temperature had, on the contrary, to decrease under these conditions when the velocity increased. It was shown where he had made an error.
