Heat or Absorbed Energy and EM Radiation / Conductivity

AI Thread Summary
Kelvin is a unit of temperature, while kilojoules measure energy and work, both of which are essential for understanding heat conduction and radiation in materials. The relationship between temperature and energy is crucial for analyzing how materials behave thermally. Both Kelvin and kilojoules play significant roles in thermodynamics. Understanding these concepts can help in determining a material's thermal properties. The discussion highlights the importance of both measurements in addressing questions about heat transfer.

I would like to know whether Kelvin or KJs matter when it comes down to a material radiating and / or conducting its heat.

I don't know how to edit so excuse me for double posting but me and my friend figured it out now.

This can be closed :)
 
Just to point out for others, Kelvin is a measure of temperature, Kilojoules is a measure of energy and work. You would need both to answer your question I think. Glad you figured it out though!
 

Thread 'Entropy and configurations of microstates'

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
