Short Answer

How do heat transfer and internal energy differ? In particular, which can be stored as such in a system and which cannot?

Due to the temperature variance, heat transfer is a procedure where the heat energy is transmitted from one system to another system. Where as internal energy is the energy stored.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Internal energy is related to the kinetic and potential energy of the system.

· Internal energy is the energy stored.

· Internal energy for an ideal system is dependent only on the temperature of the system i.e. when the temperature increases energy also increases.

· The unit of internal energy is Joule (J)

Whereas in heat transfer

· The transmission of heat energy from one system to another system due to temperature difference is called as heat transfer.

· Variance in temperature leads to energy transmission from a hot body to a cold body.

· When the two systems reach at the same temperature, the system are said to be in thermal equilibrium.

· The unit of heat transfer is Joule.
