Re: What Flows?



I said:

More semantics. Some call it internal energy, some call it heat. Can
anyone relate an instance where using the noun 'heat' instead of 'internal
energy' actually caused confusion among students?


Ooop! Ackk! I can't believe I said that.
U and Q obviously aren't the same thing, so one needs two different names
for them. That's not semantics.

Sorry for any hackles raised unnecessarily!!!
