Summary of Conduction -Convection- Radiation-Heat Transfer

00:00:00 - 00:00:00

Conduction, convection, and radiation are all methods for transferring heat. In conduction, heat is transferred between objects by direct contact. In convection, heat is transferred by the movement of a fluid. In radiation, heat is transferred without any physical contact.

• 00:00:00 In this video, various methods for transferring heat are explained. Conduction is the process of heat being transferred between objects by direct contact, convection is the movement of a fluid due to heat, and radiation is the transmission of heat without any physical contact. The key to all three methods is direct contact, and examples of each are shown. The boiling water and cooking on a skillet are both examples of heat transfer in simple terms. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object, and as it increases, the energy of motion increases. You can see an increase in the movement of the water and the eggs as they warm up and temperature increases. Conduction, convection, and radiation are all examples of heat transfer methods. These three methods are important in understanding how heat is transferred in the natural world.
