It's simple thermodynamics. In the case of conduction (where two objects are touching each other), the molecules of the hot object contact the molecules of the cold object, and energy is transferred from the hot molecule to the colder one (remember, the hot object is hot because its molecules have more energy). This process continues until all of the molecules have the same energy (are the same temperature).
What else can I help you with?
Hot thing cool down and cold things warm up because?
of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that heat naturally flows from hot objects to cold objects until thermal equilibrium is reached. This means that hot things cool down as they transfer heat to their surroundings, while cold things warm up as they absorb heat from their surroundings.
What is the direction that thermal energy naturally flows in?
Thermal energy naturally flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached. This movement is driven by a temperature difference and is known as heat transfer.
What is the differnce between temperature and heat?
temperature can be hot or cold, heat is diff variations of hot.
What are the 4 basic elements of heat exchanger?
The four basic elements of a heat exchanger are the hot fluid inlet, hot fluid outlet, cold fluid inlet, and cold fluid outlet. The hot fluid carries heat into the exchanger, transfers it to the cold fluid, and then exits the system. The cold fluid absorbs heat from the hot fluid and exits the system at a higher temperature.
What happens if you drink cold water mixed with hot water?
When hot water and cold water are mixed together, heat flows from hot water to cold water and brings them to equilibrium at a temperature intermediate to that of hot water and the cold water That may be right, but I think that the hot water would be more dominant causing the cold water to almost instantly turn hot.
In which direction does heat flow: from hot to cold or from cold to hot?
Heat flows from hot to cold.
In which direction does heat flow: from hot to cold?
Yes, heat flows from hot to cold.
What is the direction of heat flow from hot to cold in a system?
Heat flows from hot to cold in a system.
What way can heat flows?
From cold to hot.
Which way does heat flow?
Heat flows from hot to cold. This is because molecules spread around and it goes from hot to cold until thermal equilibrium is reached.
When heat flows from a hot area to a cold area it is called?
It\'s still called heat.
What type of heat transfer occurs when hot water flows through cold water?
Convection is the type of heat transfer that occurs when hot water flows through cold water. As the hot water moves through the cold water, it transfers heat energy to the surrounding cold water, causing it to warm up. This results in a transfer of heat through the movement of the fluids.
Does heat energy flow cold to hot?
No, heat energy flows from hot to cold in order to reach thermal equilibrium. Heat transfer occurs until the temperatures of the two objects are equal.
How does always flow?
heat always flows from hot to cold. ps, are you in mrs. ritters class???
How does energy flow in relation to hot or cooler bodies?
Heat energy flows form hot to cold body naturally.
Does heat travel from cold objects to hot objects?
No, heat naturally flows from hot objects to cold objects. This is based on the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat always moves in the direction that increases the entropy of a system.
If you left something cold on the counter how does heat flow between the cold item and the counter?
Heat always, and only, flows from a hot item to a cooler one.
