Heat can flow from cold to hot substances. It's flow depends on the total amount of heat of the substance not on the temperature. It flows from the substance which has more heat to the substance which has less heat stored in it.

What do heat flows from?

Heat flows from areas of high temperature to areas of low temperature in order to achieve thermal equilibrium. This flow occurs through conduction, convection, or radiation depending on the medium through which the heat is transferred.


Does heat flow from warm to cooler substances?

Yes. Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler substance. The technical term is: The Second Law of Thermodynamics.


Does heat flow from a warmer a cooler substance?

Heat flows to a colder substance by conduction. For instance, the handle on an all metal poker, pushed into a coal fire, will eventually become too hot to grasp with a bare hand. The heat has travelled from the hot fire to the once cold handle.


What should you never heat a substance in?

That really depends on what you are trying to heat and how you are heating it.


What is the transfer of energy as heat by movement of the heated substance itself?

Convection is the transfer of energy as heat by movement of the heated substance itself. This process involves the movement of molecules in a fluid (liquid or gas) due to differences in temperature, causing the warmer substance to rise and the cooler substance to sink.


Does heat flows from high to low temperature?

High temperature always flows to low temperature, never the other way around.


Heat can never flow from?

Heat can never flow from a colder to a hotter object on its own, as heat naturally flows from the hotter object to the cooler one. This is described by the Second Law of Thermodynamics.


What are two ways that heat flows within the earth?

Heat flows within the Earth through conduction, which is the transfer of heat through a material without any movement of the material itself, and convection, which involves the movement of heat through the circulation of fluids or gases.


Does freezing absorbs heat energy?

Yes, freezing involves removing heat energy from a substance, causing it to lower in temperature and eventually solidify. This process absorbs heat energy from the substance itself and its surroundings.


Why land releases heat faster than water?

Water has a higher specific heat, and this is an intensive property of the substance itself.


Why hotter a substance faster it cools?

A hot substance will pass on heat to a substance at a cooler temperature. If it was surrounded by an even hotter substance it would be "given" heat. Heat can only flow from hotter to colder, just as water flows from higher to lower ground. If the temperature difference between the substances is great, then heat will pass more quickly, but if the difference is very slight, then the flow of heat will be very much slower.


When heat flows into a system its value is positive. When heat flows of a system its value is negative.?
