Heat definition

Energy transferred due to temperature difference

Work definition

Energy transferred due to force action

Heat & work: stored or transfer?

Processes of energy transfer, not stored energy

Temperature measures what?

Average random kinetic energy of particles

Internal energy definition

Sum of kinetic & potential energy of all particles

Temperature during phase change

Remains constant during melting or boiling

Joule's key finding

Heat & mechanical energy are quantitatively equivalent

Three types of kinetic energy

Bulk translational, bulk rotational, random

Solid state properties

Fixed shape & volume, mostly incompressible

Gas state properties

No fixed shape/volume, compressible
