In thermodynamics, heat is defined as the energy in transfer between a system and its surroundings. In practice we consider the flow from the higher energy state to the lower energy state. In the case of thermal energy, from the body with the higher thermal energy (warmer) to the body with the lower thermal energy (cooler).
In general, however, you may define the flow in either direction you wish, though if you define it as from cooler to warmer, the magnitude would be negative.
What else can I help you with?
Does heat travel from a warmer object to a cooler one?
Yes it does. That is a fundamental principle of thermodynamics.
When a warmer object touches a cooler object what does heat move by?
Heat moves from the warmer object to the cooler object through a process called conduction. The vibration of particles in the warmer object transfers energy to the particles in the cooler object, causing them to heat up.
Is thermal energy transferred from warmer to cooler or cooler to warmer?
Thermal energy is transferred from warmer objects to cooler objects. This is based on the fundamental principle of the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat naturally flows from higher temperature regions to lower temperature regions.
A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid?
We call the flow of thermal energy from warmer matter to cooler matter heat transfer, and we study this in thermodynamics. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.
Energy is transferred through matter by direct contact of particles by?
Conduction. This process involves the transfer of heat from a warmer substance to a cooler substance when they are in direct contact. The particles in the warmer substance transfer energy to the particles in the cooler substance through collisions, leading to an overall transfer of heat.
What energy flows from warmer matter to cooler matter?
simple..heat energy!!
Does heat energy occur when heat energy flows from warmer matter to cooler matter?
yes the heat will flow threw, but not create energy
Does heat travel from a warmer object to a cooler one?
Yes it does. That is a fundamental principle of thermodynamics.
Why does metal feel cooler than foam?
Metals are good heat conductors, so the extra heat is drawn away from the warmer area (your hand) to the cooler areas. Foam is a heat insulator, so the heat won't travel away as fast.
What called when transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object?
Heat energy!Heat is the transfer of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
When a warmer object touches a cooler object what does heat move by?
Heat moves from the warmer object to the cooler object through a process called conduction. The vibration of particles in the warmer object transfers energy to the particles in the cooler object, causing them to heat up.
Is thermal energy transferred from warmer to cooler or cooler to warmer?

Does heat always flow from cooler objects to warmer?
Heat always flows from warmer objects to cooler objects, unless you have a device (like a heat pump) to prevent this. The natural tendency is for two or more objects at different temperatures to eventually all have the same temperature and this is accomplished by heat flowing from the warmer objects to the cooler objects.
Energy is transferred through matter by direct contact of particles by?
Conduction. This process involves the transfer of heat from a warmer substance to a cooler substance when they are in direct contact. The particles in the warmer substance transfer energy to the particles in the cooler substance through collisions, leading to an overall transfer of heat.
Is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat transfer true or false?
True. Heat transfer is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
Is Heat always transferred from a cooler or a warmer area?
Heat is transferred from a warmer area to a cooler area, according to the second law of thermodynamics. This is because heat naturally flows in the direction of decreasing temperature to achieve thermal equilibrium.
