Heat transfer will only occur if there is a difference in temperatures. So if an object is high temperature but the surrounding area is also high temperature there will be no heat transfer.

Which energy transfer is least likely to be found in nature?

Spontaneous energy transfer from a lower temperature to a higher temperature system is least likely to be found in nature, as this contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. This would violate the natural tendency for energy to flow from a higher temperature to a lower temperature system.


Thermal energy transferred between objects which have different temperature?

A transfer of heat (H) energy does not occur without a temperature differential. If the two objects had different amounts of H then a transfer would indeed occur. In this case heat would flow from a higher to lower temperature object.


What do you call a scientist who studies temperature?

That would probably fall under climatologist.


What would happen to a gearbox that was insulated so it could not transfer energy heating the surroundings?

If a gearbox is insulated and can't transfer heat to the surroundings, the heat generated by friction and energy losses would accumulate, leading to a rise in temperature within the gearbox. This could potentially cause overheating, reducethe performance of the gearbox, and even lead to damage or failure of the components due to thermal stress.


What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for an heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?

For a heat engine to be 100% efficient, it would require the hot reservoir (where heat is input) to be at a higher temperature than the environment to allow for heat transfer. However, it's not possible to achieve 100% efficiency due to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that some amount of energy will always be lost as waste heat during the conversion process.

Absolute zero may be regarded as the temperature at which?

molecular motion ceases, meaning there is no heat energy remaining to transfer. It is the lowest possible temperature on the Kelvin scale, at approximately -273.15 degrees Celsius or 0 Kelvin.

Is it possible to create your own little battery-operated heater?

It is possible. With a battery power source and some kind of heating element that creates electrical resistance in order to transfer that energy into heat; it could be done. I would not recommend that you try.

Would it ever be possible for the temperature in Celsius to have a greater value than the temperature in Fahrenheit Explain why or why not.?

Yes it is possible. For example, -50 deg C = -58 deg F.

Is the thermometer reading the temperature of the vacuum at the Moon's surface?

No. The thermometer measures the temperature of mass or material. Concerning the moon, a thermometer could measure the temperature of dust or rock on the surface. If it were not in contact with the surface, and the sun shone on it, the thermometer would read the temperature to which the sun heated it. If it were shielded from the sun, then the thermometer would read the temperature of space ... about 3 K, or darn near absolute zero.
