The words ''system'', ''surroundings'' and ''boundary'' are first defined as:
{{r|History}}


:A ''system'' is any object, any quantity of matter, any region, etc. selected for study and mentally set apart from everything else which is then called the ''surroundings''. The imaginary envelope enclosing the ''system'' and separating it from its ''surroundings'' is called the ''boundary'' of the system.

Then ''heat'' is defined as:

{{r|André-Marie Ampère}}
: ''Heat'' is energy crossing that crosses a system boundary under the influence of a temperature difference or gradient between the system and its surroundings.  A quantity of heat, Q, represents an amount of energy in transit between a system and its surroundings and is not a property of the system.

There are three fundamentals types of heat transfer: '''conduction''', '''convection''' and '''radiation'''. All three types may occur at the same time, and it is advisable to consider the heat transfer by each type in any particular case.
