The first statement is correct. Nature's law is that all things flow from where there is more of something to where there is less of something until they reach an equilibrium, where both sides are the same. For example, if something cold was touching something hot, then the heat from the hot object would keep flowing into the cold object until both objects are the same temperature.

Why is the term "flow" used to describe the motion of heat?

The term "flow" is used to describe the motion of heat because heat moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature in a similar way to how a liquid flows from a higher to a lower level. This analogy helps to explain the transfer of heat energy in a clear and understandable manner.


Describe the direction of heat flow when a warm object and a cool object touch?

The flow of heat energy from the warmer object to the cooler oneis so probable that it is considered a law in thermodynamics.


Is heat conductivity the same thing as thermal conductivity?

Yes, heat conductivity and thermal conductivity are often used interchangeably to describe the ability of a material to conduct heat. Both terms refer to how well a material allows heat to flow through it.


Does heat flow cooler or smaller object?

Heat flow's from cooler objects.


Is heat flow the same between the continental and oceanic crust?

Apparently No, heat flow in oceanic crust is higher than continental crust


Does heat energy flow indefinitely?

No, heat energy does not flow indefinitely. It will continue to flow until a thermal equilibrium is reached where all objects involved reach the same temperature. Once this equilibrium is achieved, there will be no further flow of heat energy.


How would you describe Isentropic flow?

a flow in an Isenotropic manner.


What is downward heat flow?

negative heat


What three things make heat flow?

Heat flow is made by conduction, convection or radiation.


How can energy be carried from one place to another by heat flow and by waves?

heat flow and waves


Can heat ever flow from a colder object to a hotter object, as stated by the principle that heat can never flow from ?

Yes, heat can never flow from a colder object to a hotter object, as stated by the principle that heat can never flow from a lower temperature to a higher temperature.


What will cause heat to flow slowly?

Interatomic separation causes heat to flow slowly. As there will be time involved in transferring heat at a gap.
