Re: HEAT1=HEAT2 ?



Heat, heat capacity, heat engine, heat of combustion, heat of vaporization,
heat of fusion, heat pump, heat exchanger, heat transfer, latent heat,
mechanical equivalent of heat, heat of dissociation, heat death of the
Universe, heat as produced by friction, heat as produced by resistance,
heat reservoir, heat sink, heat radiation, heat of transformation, heat
conduction, etc. If you can deal with all of these 'physics' uses of the
word heat without invoking heat as a label for a form of energy then
'You're a better man than I am Gunga Din.'

No suggestion for renaming dE was made, I referred to it as a change in.
internal energy (dE=Q+W). Only Q should be renamed. I wish more people
expressed their opinion. Ludwik Kowalski.
