Melting
|
|
|
When two substances at different temperatures are "mixed together", heat flows from the warmer body to the cooler body until they reach the same temperature. Part of the heat lost by the warmer body is transferred to the cooler body and to surrounding objects. If the two substances are well insulated from surrounding objects, the heat lost by the warmer body is equal to the heat gained by the cooler body.
