...about 1798. The scientists of his day held that heat is an imponderable fluid, caloric, which flows from a body at a higher temperature to one at a lower, much as water flows from a place of higher to a place of lower level. They also spoke of substances... | |

...gained or lost by (1) conduction and convection and by (2) radiation. Conduction. — Conduction means the loss of heat from a body at a higher temperature...by passage from particle to particle. For example, if one end of a copper rod is placed into a dish of hot water, heat will pass into the rod and along... | |

...circumstances it determines the direction of heat flow — heat ordinarily moves from a body or a part of a body at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature. Of two otherwise identical bodies (same size, mass, and material), the hotter one contains the more... | |

...something warm, you feel heat, but what is that? Technically, heat is defined as the flow of energy from a body at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature. If a particular sample of a substance experiences an increase in temperature, then you can say that... | |

...from the narrower to the wider cylinder until the levels were the same in each. Similarly, heat flows from a body at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature, until their temperatures are equal. Again, a quantity of water is measured by pouring it into a measuring... | |
