In all cases, heat flows from where it's hot to where it's not. Can water flow uphill? Heat cannot flow from something cold to something hot. This would be a violation of thermodynamic laws. Oh, there might be something out there that can operate that way, that is, cause heat to flow from cold objects to hot ones, but it is doubtful that a physicists could visualize this and how it could work. It would be easier to explain why water flowed uphill. Possible, but not in any way we know. Note: Let's not split hairs with this one and say that any body that is not a 0 K will radiate heat. Stick with the basics. The warmer object will radiate "more" heat and cool down while warming a colder object. It's a simple and straight forward thermal gradient, which is a difference of temperature that sets up "heat pressure" causing thermal energy to move from hot to cold.

What is the flow of thermal energy call?

The flow of thermal energy is called heat transfer. It is through the various means of heat transfer that thermal energy moves from one place to another. Heat moves from where it is hot to where it is not. Always. Think it through and it will make perfect sense.


What direction does thermal energy flow?

Thermal Energy always transfer from the higher temperature to lower temperature until both bodies reach the same temperature or in thermal equilibrium with each other.


Thermal energy flows from what to what?

Higher temperature to lower temperature. Thermal energy will always flow down the energy gradient.

Does thermal energy always flow from cooler to warmer energy?

No, thermal energy naturally flows from higher temperature to lower temperature in order to reach thermal equilibrium. Heat transfer occurs to even out temperature imbalances between objects.


Can heat be thermal energy?

Does your body gain or lose thermal energy if your body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius and the temperature around you is 25 degrees Celsius?

You will lose thermal energy.Heat (energy) will always flow from warmer to cooler.


Does thermal energy flow from cooler to hotter objects?

No, thermal energy flows from hotter objects to cooler objects as heat always moves from areas of higher temperature to lower temperature, seeking equilibrium.
