| Aug 24, 2022 at 0:57 | comment | added | printf | I honestly don't see what the notion of "cold transfer" can do that the notion of "heat" won't do. Heat is microscopic transfer of energy. If a body A transfers heat $Q$ to body B, we may as well say that body B does "cold transfer" of $Q$ to A (i.e. B transfers heat $-Q$ to A); but what new insight would this formalism bring? | |
