Conduction, Convection and Radiation

2. Conduction
Conduction – heat transferred by particles colliding into one another, such as in a metal.
Transfer of energy by touch
Not an effective transfer in a gas.
Primarily solids

3. Convection
Convection – heat transferred by the circulation of a fluid (or gas), such as in a heating system at home; important near the surface of the Sun.
Hot air rises cool
air falls

4. Radiation
Radiation – heat transferred by the flow of electromagnetic radiation, like heat felt from the campfire.
Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can happen in a vacuum.
Heat transfer through
waves

5. Heat Transfer CONDUCTION: the transfer of energy through matter
by direct contact of particles.
This can happen in solids, liquids and gases.
CONVECTION: the transfer of energy because of the
movement of bulk masses of
particles.
This can happen only in liquids and gases - not in solids.
RADIATION: the transfer of energy by
electromagnetic waves.
Energy can move by radiation in air like the heat from your electric stove top, or in the vacuum of space the way the Sun heats the Earth. In radiation, the energy does not have to transfer through mass (particles).

17. heat transfer : Problem 10
Heat convection occurs in gases and liquids. Heat convection does not occur in solids because solids are unable to —
A absorb heat by vibrating
B transfer heat by fluid motion
C emit radiation by reflecting light
D exchange heat by direct contact

18. Each finger is a different metal rod with glass marbles affixed using wax. The marbles are placed at equal distances on each of the rods and the rods are heated. The heat is moved through the metal to the wax adhesive. As the wax warms up, it looses its stickiness and the marbles subsequently fall off.
