text: In this sense, heat is simply the transfer of energy from a hot object to a colder object.
text: In statistical mechanics, for a closed system (no transfer of matter), heat is the energy transfer associated with a disordered, microscopic action on the system, associated with jumps in occupation numbers of the energy levels of the system, without change in the values of the energy levels themselves.
text: It is important, however, to understand that Heat is the transfer of energy due to a difference in temperature We often refer to a "flow" of heat, recalling the 18th-century notion that heat was an actual substance called caloric that could flow like a liquid.
