Steady state and thermal conductivity
Setup:
I am running a simulation of two heat sinks connected by some wires. I set the top heat sink to a constant temperature, and the bottom one to a constant heat flux.
Results:
According to the si …

V versus P in an Adiabatic Process
Adiabatic expansions (defined as a system that does not have any heat transfer) obey the following relationship $$ PV^{\alpha} = constant $$ where alpha is some characteristic constant. So, no, a stra …

What mechanism at the microscopic level determines whether a system heats up or not?
The heat contained in a system can be thought of as the total kinetic energy of a system. my2cts' answer is correct, but I'll add that if you excite an electron to a higher energy level, that will ind …
