PHYSICS
Guess what ?
In today’s Class we shall Learn,

 Heat transfer can occur by conduction, radiation or convection.


Thermal energy transfer
• Thermal energy transfer is heat moving from a warmer object to a cooler
object. This is known as thermal energy transfer.
How is Heat Transferred?
There are THREE ways heat can
move.
• Conduction
• Convection
• Radiation
Have you ever…
Touched a metal spoon sitting in a pan of boiling water only to be surprised
by HOW hot it is??
CONDUCTION
• Heat is transferred from one particle of
matter to another in an object without
the movement of the object.
• Conduction = CONTACT
EXAMPLE OF CONDUCTION
A piece of cheese melts as
heat is transferred from the
meat to the cheese
(Contact)
Convection
• Convection is the movement that transfers heat within fluids
and air (gas)
• Heat is transferred by currents within the fluid or gas
• Convection = VENTS (through air and liquid particles)

• Convection moves in
a circular pattern
Examples of Convection:
Have you ever noticed that the air near the ceiling is warmer than the air
near the floor? Or that water in a pool is cooler at the deep end?
RADIATION
• Radiation is the transfer of energy
by electromagnetic waves
• Radiation does NOT require matter
to transfer thermal energy
• Radiation = Radiates (heat escaping
the sun)
Radiation May Come From Other Sources
Have you ever sat too close to a
campfire?
You’re enjoying the warmth only
to notice that your skin is really
warm?
Examples of RADIATION
1. Fire
2. Heat Lamps
3. Sun
