“Cooling by Heating”—Demonstrating the Significance of the Longitudinal Specific Heat

Heating a solid sphere at its surface induces mechanical stresses inside the sphere. If a finite amount of heat is supplied, the stresses gradually disappear as temperature becomes homogeneous throughout the sphere. We show that before this happens, there is a temporary lowering of pressure and dens...
