Heating and Cooling, the art of Thermal Energy
Thermal Energy Heat flows from warmer objects to cooler objects, until both objects reach the same temperature. Three ways that heat is transferred: Convection, Conduction and Radiation.
Conduction The transfer of heat from a warmer to cooler substance through direct contact.
Radiation The transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves. Radiation can occur through empty space.
Convection The transfer of heat in a liquid or gas through currents. Where have we seen this word before? Electric Current movement of electrons. Current = Movement
Convection
