- adrian_b 3y agoCooling is heating everything else. The symmetry between cooling and heating is only a linearization approximation, like also the symmetry between compression and expansion. There is no surprise that there are scenarios when the approximations deviate too much from the actual behavior and cooling and heating are asymmetric (and also compression and expansion).
