Heat laws Daily lives
When something
heat by fire, the whole thing will become hot and it has the same temperature
after a while. It is because if the thing only heated at one point, the kinetic
energy at that point is larger than another point. When the atoms which have
larger kinetic energy collide with the atoms which have lower kinetic energy,
the larger one will transfer the kinetic energy to the lower one until their
kinetic energy are equal to each other.

Because heat is
transferring by the movement of the atoms, so we can cool down it without using
cold water. The following is to cool down the air by changing the heat energy
of the air to the kinetic energy of the plunger.
Very hot atom
plunger
The
atom was cold downed
When the air
atoms go into this setup, the atoms have very high kinetic energy. They crash
to the plunger and transfer some of the kinetic energy to the plunger, so when
they crash to the next plunger, the plunger move shorter than the first time.
And repeat it few times, the kinetic energy of atoms will be very low, so they
were cold downed by this setup.
We can explain
why this setup can cool down the atoms by the heat laws
too, The heat change into work done of the plunger, so the atoms lose energy.
