Heat Transfer

Description

Heat Transfer

Heat transfer is the movement of thermal energy from one object to another. This happens in three main ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when heat moves through direct contact, like when you touch a hot metal spoon. Convection happens in fluids (liquids and gases) when warm parts ...

Heat is the movement of thermal energy from one body to another. Thermal energy comes from the motion of tiny particles inside matter.

When the particles move fast, the temperature rises, and the body feels hot. When they move slowly, the temperature remains low, and the body feels cool.

Now imagine we have two bodies: one hot and on...
