2007, James Shipman, Jerry Wilson, Aaron Todd,An Introduction to Physical Science: Twelfth Edition, pages106–108:
Heat and temperature, although different, are intimately related. [...] For example, suppose you added equal amounts ofheat to equal masses of iron and aluminum. How do you think their temperatures would change?[…]if the temperature of the iron increased by 100 C°, the corresponding temperature change in the aluminum would be only 48 C°.
Heat limits the length and intensity of ship-to-ship combat. Starships generate enormouss'heat when they fire high-energy weapons, perform maneuvering burns, and run on-board combat electronics. In combat, warships produceheat more quickly than they can disperse it. Asheat builds within a vessel, the crewed spaces become increasingly uncomfortable. Before theheat reaches lethal levels, a ship must win or retreat by entering FTL. After an FTL run, the ships halts, shuts down non-essential systems, and activates theheat radiation gear.
Energy has seldom been found where we need it when we want it. Ancient nomads, wishing to ward off the evening chill and enjoy a meal around a campfire, had to collect wood and then spend time and effort coaxing theheat of friction out from between sticks to kindle a flame.
This furnace puts out 5000 BTUs ofheat. That engine is really throwing off someheat. Removal ofheat from the liquid caused it to turn into a solid.
