22. Concept Of Heat and Work
Thermodynamics Definition of Heat :
• It is the energy in transition between the system and the surroundings by virtue
of the difference in temperature.
•Closed system can also interact with the surroundings, when it is not possible to
transfer the energy in form of work. This non-work type of heat interaction is called
Heat.
•Heat (Q) is a form of energy. Heat always flows from higher temperature region to
lower temperature region. Unit of heat is Joule (J) or Calorie.
•Whenever there is a heat exchange between system and surroundings, state
(represented by thermodynamic properties like pressure, temperature, volume
etc.) changes due to this heat exchange. 22
