Q is not a person!!!
Q was an operation of Military Intelligence to put some heat into the system, to stir things up, and to get people thinking and researching for themselves, to generate more heat!
The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system equals the net heat transfer into the system minus the net work done by the system. In equation form, the first law of thermodynamics is ΔU = Q − W.
Here ΔU is the change in internal energy U of the system. Q is the net heat transferred into the system—that is, Q is the sum of all heat transfer into and out of the system. W is the net work done by the system—that is, W is the sum of all work done on or by the system. We use the following sign conventions: if Q is positive, then there is a net heat transfer into the system; if W is positive, then there is net work done by the system. So positive Q adds energy to the system and positive W takes energy from the system. Thus ΔU = Q − W. Note also that if more heat transfer into the system occurs than work done, the difference is stored as internal energy.
If Q is positive, then there is a net heat transfer into the system
How do you understand whatQ+means?
