In thermodynamics, heat is defined as the transfer of thermal energy between systems having different temperatures. While in casual conversation, heat is often used interchangeably with thermal energy. Thermal energy itself represents the kinetic energy associated with the random movements of atoms and molecules within a substance.
In 1907, G.H. Bryan published his work, 'Thermodynamics: an Introductory Treatise dealing mainly with First Principles and their Direct Applications,' exploring the foundations of thermodynamics.
Carathéodory, in 1909, aimed to establish thermodynamics without relying on unverified hypotheses, a significant departure from the traditional view that treated heat, temperature, and thermal equilibrium as primitive notions. He emphasized the importance of experimental verification in thermodynamic theory.
Carathéodory, in 1909, put forth a well-known definition of heat in thermodynamics, focusing on processes within closed systems. His work was a response to Max Born's suggestion to examine the logical structure of thermodynamics.
In 1909, Carathéodory defined adiabatic walls, which allow energy transfer as work but not as heat or matter. He contrasted these with diathermal walls, which are postulated to be permeable only to heat, outlining his concepts of adiabatic and diathermal walls.
In 1909, Carathéodory, a mathematician, delved into the logical structure of thermodynamics, following a suggestion by Max Born. This period saw significant interest in defining the logical underpinnings of thermodynamics, which had been empirically established.
In 1926, Planck strongly advocated for defining heat through the generation of heat by rubbing, considering it the most specific definition. He criticized Carathéodory for overlooking this aspect. Planck's emphasis on friction as a fundamental aspect of heat contrasted with Carathéodory's focus on adiabatic processes.
