Heat as Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Thermodynamics | The branch of physics which deals with heat energy, how heat is transferred, and its interrelationships with other forms of energy |
| Benjamin Thompson | Discovered that heat cannot be a material substance, Count Rumford. |
| Robert von Mayer | One of the first scientists to state clearly the first law of thermodynamics |
| James Prescott Joule | Experimented with heating water. Measured the amount of MA needed to raise the temperature of a certain quantity of water by a certain number of degrees |
| Mechanical equivalent of heat | The relationship between mechanical energy and heat energy |
| First law of thermodynamics | The total amount of energy in a system is constant but convertible, law of conservation of energy |
| Rudolph Clausius | German physicist how discovered that heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body |
| Second law of thermodynamics | Heat and other natural processes in a system tend to go only one way, toward less usable energy and greater disorder. The most important scientific principle showing that there had to have been an act of creation |
| Entropy | The amount of disorder in a system. For every action there is a loss of useful energy and an increase in disorder |
| Nicolas Carnot | founder of science of thermodynamics |
