Difference between stored energy and transient energy

Difference between stored energy and transient energy

Stored energy Transient energy
Within the boundary of the system. Can cross the boundary of the system.
Examples : Internal energy(U), Kinetic energy(KE) and Potential energy(PE) Examples : Heat transfer, work transfer
They are independent of path. They are path dependent.
They have unique value for each thermodynamic state.(Thermodynamic property) They are not thermodynamic property.
