According to the second law of thermodynamics which is a requirement for thermal energy to flow from colder objects to hotter objects?

The second law of thermodynamics states "energy systems have a tendency to increase their entropy rather than decrease it." This can also be stated as "heat can spontaneously flow from a higher-temperature region to a lower-temperature region, but not the other way around." Heat can appear to flow from cold to hot, for example, when a warm object is cooled in a refrigerator, but the transfer of energy is still from hot to cold. The heat from the object warms the surrounding air, which in turn heats and expands the refrigerant. The refrigerant is then compressed, expending electrical energy. so the second law of thermodynamics is your answer I believe.... there are 3 proper laws of thermodynamics with a possible fourth, fifth and sixth still being postulated.


Does thermal energy always travel from cooler to warmer objects?

Well the predictable pattern is when the warmer object always flows energy to the cooler until they both are the same temp

Does matter have heat energy when it is cold?

Because molecules in matter are always moving, virtually all matter has some heat energy, even when it seems cold to you. Matter that seems cold is merely not as hot as objects near it, or as hot as your hand. It still has temperature and thus heat energy. As long as its temperature is above -459.7°, it has heat energy.
