Heat Transfer Heat Transfer Questions

1. Heat transfer occurs in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. 2. Conduction involves the transfer of energy between particles in direct contact through collisions. It is most effective in solids and metals where particles vibrate and collide. 3. Convection involves the transfer of energy by fluid movement. Differences in density caused by temperature differences cause hotter, less dense fluid to rise and colder, denser fluid to sink, creating convection currents that circulate energy.

from your foot slower. What does this tell you about air compared to
Convection is where energy is transferred through fluids (_____ or ____). stone?
