When two objects of different temperatures (ideally a liquid or a solid) come in contact with each other, then the heat is transmitted from the warmer object to the colder object, until a state of thermal equilibrium is reached between them. The object at a higher temperature dissipates heat, while the object at a lower temperature absorbs heat energy. The concept of calorimetry is built around the law of conservation energy. Inside a closed system, the heat energy lost by a hot object is equivalent to the total heat energy absorbed by the cold body.
