The Science Behind Heat Transfer
Three Methods of Heat Transfer:
- Conduction: Heat transfer through solids by molecular vibration (e.g., metal rod heating up)
- Convection: Heat transfer through fluids by movement of heated material (e.g., warm water rising)
- Radiation: Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves (e.g., heat from the sun)
All three methods occur simultaneously in many real-world situations!
