Re: ENERGY WITH Q

Referring to this:
In calorimetry heat is a form of energy. It is something that
an object can either receive or lose, for example "by conduction."
The naive fluid-like model of heat is later replaced by a better
model (heat is a change in thermal molecular energy, or
something equivalent). But in thermodynamics heat is not
a form of energy.

All of us use models. Going from one model to another is OK. Right?
