Thermal energy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Heat energy)
In thermal physics, thermal energy is the type of energy that has a system that increases with its temperature. In thermodynamics, thermal energy is the internal energy present in a system in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium because of its temperature.[1] That is, heat is defined as a spontaneous flow of energy (energy in transit) from one object to another, caused by a difference in temperature between two objects; so objects do not possess heat.[2]
