- Definition: Principle of Heat Exchange
Heat Exchange
When a hot object and a cold object come into contact, heat energy flows from the hot object to the cold object. This transfer continues until both objects reach the same temperature. The hot object loses heat, while the cold object gains heat.
Box of heat-resistant material
If this process happens in an isolated system (like a heat-resistant box), no heat escapes or enters from outside. In this case, the total heat lost by the hot object is equal to the total heat gained by the cold object. This is known as the Principle of Heat Exchange: Heat lost by the hot object = Heat gained by the cold object.
This principle is based on the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred.
Definition: Principle of Heat Exchange
Heat energy lost by the hot object = Heat energy gained by the cold object. This is called as ‘Principle of heat exchange’

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions based on it.
|
If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistant box, then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. |
