Is a uniform-temperature gas more or less orderly than one with several different temperatures? Which is more structured? In which can heat transfer result in work done without heat transfer from another system?
Consider the following sentence: “Given two objects at different temperatures, the one at a higher temperature has more heat than the one at a lower temperature.” What is wrong with this statement? Re-state it in such a way that the terms temperature and heat are both used correctly, consistent with a microscopic interpretation of temperature and with the second law of thermodynamics.
Why is sweating a useful mechanism for animals to cool themselves in hot weather?
The chapters and topics based on these questions come from these concepts. (Phase Changes Thermodynamics.)
