Heat

In thermodynamics, heat is energy in transfer to or from a thermodynamic system, by mechanisms other than thermodynamic work or transfer of matter. The various mechanisms of energy transfer that define heat are stated in the next section of this article. Like thermodynamic work, heat transfer is a process involving more than one system, not a property of any one system. In thermodynamics, energy transferred as heat contributes to change in the system's cardinal energy variable of state, for example its internal energy, or for example its enthalpy. This is to be distinguished from the ordinary language conception of heat …

The household survey explores the energy sources in Kosovo[‎1]‎, their impact on society, the extent of access to electricity, and the types of fuels and technologies used for cooking and heating. The results of the survey demonstrate a robust correlation between using wood for heating and elevated health concerns. The devices and energy sources used for both heating and cooking in households contribute considerably to household air pollution (‎HAP)‎ and negatively affect the health of the population.
