Heat

In physics and chemistry, heat is energy transferred from one body to another by thermal interactions. The transfer of energy can occur in a variety of ways, among them conduction, radiation, and convection. Heat is not a property of a system or body, but instead is always associated with a process of some kind, and is synonymous with heat flow and heat transfer.

Famous quotes containing the word heat:

    And suddenly, to be dying
    Is not a little or mean or cheap thing,
    Only wearying, the heat unbearable ...

    Slow flow heat is silence
    No will is still as a river
    Still.
