- 4. the temperature at which a substance changes from the liquid state to the gaseous state
- 5. the amount of thermal energy needed to vaporize 1 kg of a particular liquid
- 7. states that natural processes go in a direction that maintains or increases the total entropy of the universe
- 11. the energy that is transferred between two objects when they come in contact with each other
- 13. the state in which the rate of energy flow between two objects is equal and the objects are at the same temperature
- 14. the amount of thermal energy needed to melt 1 kg of a particular substance
- 15. a measure of the disorder in a system
- 17. a strategy used to produce electric power from sunlight by using mirrors, a collector, engine, and electric generator

Down
- 1. the study of heat transformations into other forms of energy
- 2. states that the change in the thermal energy of an object is equal to the heat added to the object minus the work done by the object
