Energy transfer
The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.
Molar Specific Heat
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)
Thermal Properties of Matter
Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

Answer to Problem 8STP

Option A: Heat engine

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Usually, heat flows from warmer place to colder place. But in order to reverse this flow, a heat engine performs it very well.

The heat engine absorbs the heat from a cold place and emits it to the warmer place. This event requires external source of energy which can be in the form of electricity.

Conclusion:

Hence, the heat engine performs the transfer of heat from cooler area to warmer area.
