In your FOT course this year you learned about thermodynamics ,including how heat transfers occur.If you were to place a cup of hot coffee in the freezer,explain what,if any, heat transfers would occur,and at what point would it stop occurring,

Hint: Heat transfer occurs whenever there is a temperature gradient.
Heat transfers from a body when it's surrounding temperature is lower than that of it's. Heat transfer will cease only when the system attains equilibrium.
Were you supposed to break this down further? You could probably make a chart, because I assume you learned the three _types_ of transfers, and then you have four types of materials (hot coffee, a warm ceramic mug, cool air, and the cold surfaces in the freezer. But not everything is in contact with everything else...|dw:1466019061103:dw|
