Re: CONSERVATION OF ENERGY



Hi!
My brief comment to the opinion that "heat" should be reserved to the
"transmission of energy by the effect of a difference in temperature"
(as stated by Al Bachman).
Of course, you can use it consistently with this meaning, but be
aware that then you must agree that a microwave oven does NOT "heat"
the food, and you must also also discard many other similar processes.
Regards Emilio

The microwave oven can either warm, defrost, or cook.
No need to heat with it.
