1) In the discussion John provides four bulleted items for the four possible
ways energy can leave system A and arrive at system B. I simply don't see
that the structure of this equation doesn't allow for the 3rd and 4th
possibilities; it strikes me that the structure either allows all four ways
or none.
E.g. 3 units of energy are transfered from system A in thermal form and
arrive at B in nonthermal form.
Then Delta E = +3 and W = 0 and Q =+3, the structure allowed it.
