What are the three types of heat transfer?
|
Conduction
Convection Radiation |
|
|
What is conduction?
|
Transfer of heat through solids
Relies on particle movement |
|
|
What is the process of conduction?
|
1. Particles are heated
2. Particles gain energy from heat and move more 3. Particles collide with other particles because of movement and transfer their energy 4. Process repeats until heat is even throughout |
|
|
What is convection?
|
Transfer of heat throughout gases and liquids
Circular current Relies on particle movement |
|
|
What is the process of convection?
|
1. Particles are heated
2. Particles gain energy and move more 3. Particles moving more means there is more space between them resulting in less density 4. less dense things rise 5. Particles pushed over by other particles 6. Process repeats the opposite way coming down and creates current |
|
|
What is radiation?
|
Transfer of heat along electromagnetic waves
Can transfer through vacuum Does not rely on movement of particles |
|
|
