[edit] Thermodynamics vs heat transfer

Isn't thermodynamic processes redundant with heat transfer right there? -- 68.17.251.126, 2 November 2005

No. Thermodynamics and heat transfer are different. Heat transfer has to do with transfering thermal energy from one stream (or material) to another. Thermodynamics has to do with equilibrium, multiple phases, transfer of material from one phase to another. Thermodynamics pulls information from mass transfer, heat transfer, kinetics, etc. --BeastRHIT 14:06, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mechanics versus mass transfer

Doesn't mechanical processes include mass transfer processes like solids transportation? --130.240.132.161 12:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
