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:

    I have a blood bolt
    and I have made it mine.
    With this man I take in hand
    his destiny and with this gun
    I take in hand the newspapers and
    with my heat I will take him.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The Soul rules over matter. Matter may pass away like a mote in the sunbeam, may be absorbed into the immensity of God, as a mist is absorbed into the heat of the Sun—but the soul is the kingdom of God, the abode of love, of truth, of virtue.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    For, ere Demetrius looked on Hermia’s eyne,
    He hailed down oaths that he was only mine,
    And when this hail some heat from Hermia felt,
    So he dissolved, and showers of oaths did melt.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
