Tom Booth Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 My thread on Maxwell's Demon was closed, presumably for the reason cited: I was however, completely unaware that there could be any argument about this point, had never been challenged on, or given any opportunity to support this well known and scientifically established fact. Therefore, if I may, I shall do so here in the Lounge where allegedly we are free to discuss "anything". First citation [emphasis added]: Quote The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Since heat is a form of energy, when a certain quantity of heat disappears from one body it will be found to have transferred itself to some other body, providing that it has not been changed into some other form of energy. This statement of the law of conservation of energy applied to heat is called the first law of thermodynamics. ESSENTIALS OF Applied Physics By ROYAL M. FRYE, Ph.D. Professor of Physics, Boston University A further citation [emphasis added] Quote The First Law of Thermodynamics. The principle of the Conservation of Energy in relation to heat and work may be expressed in the following statement, which constitutes the First Law of Thermodynamies:" When mechanical energy is produced from heat a definite quantity of heat goes out of existence for every unit of work done... Thermodynamics for engineers By Sir James Alfred Ewing Additional citations to follow as my time will allow. Quote Heat is simply motive power, or rather motion which has changed form. It is a movement among the particles of bodies. Wherever there is destruction of motive power there is, at the same time, production of heat in quantity exactly proportional to the quantity of motive power destroyed. Reciprocally, wherever there is destruction of heat, there is production of motive power. Reflections on the Motive Power of Heat (1897) by Sadi Carnot, translated by R. H. Thurston A.

Phi for All Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 ! Moderator Note You can't soapbox ANYWHERE on SFN, even in the Lounge. You haven't been discussing these subjects, you've been misusing their information and then rejecting all attempts to show where you're wrong. You misunderstand many aspects of physics, you don't take criticism on board when this is shown, and you keep insisting your explanations are more valid than those with far more evidence. You're preaching, soapboxing, and it's a toxic way to approach a discussion. It doesn't work for us, that's why it's against the rules. Please go start a blog somewhere if you want to ignore replies and comments.

Moderator Note Anything that doesn’t belong elsewhere, and doesn’t violate the rules If you can manage to ask questions and not preach your own version, or bring up extraneous material, the proper place is in classical physics.
