Properties definition
Altitude is not a property, if you're thinking of position in gravity field that's a different matter, but altitude, especially as defined in the linking article has nothing to do with gravity effects.
I disagree in putting Heat as a property, is not defined that way in thermodynamics books. Paquitotrek (talk) 20:06, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- Re:Paquitotrek, if Work is a property, how come Heat isn't? If you have a problem with one, you'd have a problem with both.
- Neither heat nor work is a material property in formal thermodynamics, both are instead (integrals of) energy flows across a boundary. Informally, however, one speaks of heat content when referring to energy gained and lost through changes in temperature.Eric Drexler (talk) 16:24, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
