10 ThermalBeispieltextProcess Engineering for BrewerskronesHeat and Energy What is heat?Heat (abbreviation πΈ ) is energy that is being transferred based on a temperature differenceof a system and its environment (or between two systems) across the common systemboarder.Heat comes from the higher temperature level to the lowertemperature level. The results are often serious.10/24/2014 Therefore, heat always flows from the system with a higher temperature level to thesystem with lower temperature level (according to the second law of thermodynamics). Heat flow (πΈΜ )is determined as the transferred heat in a certain time interval. It can beconsidered the same as the thermal power.
11 ThermalBeispieltextProcess Engineering for BrewerskronesHeat and Energy Heat is transferred energy. But how is energy defined? Example: What contains more energy: a cup of hot soup or a glass of water? Obviously, the soup has got more energy because of its higher temperature.10/24/2014 Energy is the ability of a system to work or to release heat.
