Expert-verifiedHow 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.
· 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.
