My understanding of heat is the energy transferred as a result of temperature imbalance between systems.
If two systems at different temperatures are in contact with each other, a temperature change for both systems and an energy transfer Q is occurring.
It is known that Q=W for a closed system when T=constant according to the first law of themo, but how can there be heat (energy transfer as a result of temperature imbalance between systems) and yet no change in temperature of the system?
