Abstract

The paper refers first to the definition of heat prevalent in thermodynamics. The problem of the temperature and of the exchanges of heat in the bodies at thermal equilibrium is then addressed, providing a new point of view based on the principle of mobile equilibrium.

Notes

  1. The value has been calculated from \({{{v}}_{s}} = 2a{{{v}}_{{\text{E}}}}\) where \({{{v}}_{{\text{E}}}} = k{{\theta }_{{\text{E}}}}{\text{/}}h = 5.087 \times {{10}^{{12}}}\) s–1 and \(a = 3.615 \times {{10}^{{ - 10}}}\) m is the lattice parameter at 298.15 K.
