controlsthe flow of heat from one bodyto another when theyare broughtintothermal contact. We shall also attempt to understand the relationship between heat and mechanical work. For instance, to whatextentdoes the heat contentof a body increase when mechanical workis done onit? More ... (,,···, thermal = + +,···, = ...
