Re: Heat through an adiabatic wall?



Consider a "perfectly insulated" container with a paddle wheel sticking
through (the shaft is also perfectly insulated). Viola! "Heat" (using the
definitions expounded on in Jim's page) gets through an "adiabatic" wall
(using the standard definition above)!

You should read "Ratchet and Pawl", Chapter 41 in Volume 1.
