the system of interest). It is based on the macroscopic relationship between heat flow into the sub-system and the temperature at which it occurs summed over the boundary of that sub-system.

Following the formalism of Clausius, the basic calculation can be mathematically stated as:
: , the quotient of the motional energy ("heat") q that is transferred "reversibly" (rev) to the system
