Oops! I just wrote,

There are two errors lurking here that, taken together, produce the
correct result--i.e., the internal potential energy decreases and,
therefore, the internal kinetic energy increases. (Who said two
wrongs don't make a right?)

in the process contributing a third error of my own. I meant to say,
"the internal potential energy increases and, therefore, the internal
kinetic energy decreases."

Damn, I worked hard on that last posting (to John, mainly). I think
I'll send it anyway (even though "internal work" no longer exists)
because I want you folks to know what I'm up to.

Hope that's OK / Tom

If not, I'm sorry.
