What is the difference between heat transfer and work transfer?
Can you explain to me the difference between heat transfer and work transfer?
Sure, I'd be happy to! Heat transfer involves the transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object, while work transfer involves the transfer of energy through mechanical work. In other words, heat transfer is the movement of energy due to a temperature difference, while work transfer involves the application of a force over a distance.
