Abstract

This short chapter deals with the heat from different levels of description. We shall call the heat defined by the stochastic energetics mesoscopic heat and the heat defined by conventional statistical thermodynamics calorimetric heat. The latter should measured by conventional calorimetric methods. The main question of this chapter is to understand the connection between these two types. Simple thought experiments will help clarify the problem. “Work against a viscous medium” can be defined with the aid of the notion of transformation of the heat from one scale to another scale.
