What is the mode of heat transfer from a room heater?
room heater warm by radiation
What is one benefit of using a radiant heater instead of a convection heater?
One benefit of using a radiant heater instead of a convection heater is that they can heat an entire room for a longer period of time without burning out the motor or shutting off.
How does convection and radiation heat a room?
Because the air closer to the heater heats up first. It then gets warmer and less dense and rises to the top of the room, which pushes down the cooler air that is already up at the top. Then that air warms up and rises to the top, pushing the cooler air down. This creates the Convection Current and that is how the room gets heated : )
You can feel the heat waves from a small electric heater on your hands and face even though the heater is on the other side of the room this is an example of?
radiation
How does a convection heater differ from similar types of heating units?
Convection heater use a process that involves "blowing" air across the heating element. Once this happens the air will absorb heat and then blown to heat the air in the room. These heaters are used mainly for heating smaller rooms in the home or offices, etc. They have thermostat in the units that sense when the desired heat temp. in the room has been reach the unit will shut off. The heater will also restart once the room temp. drops below desired temp.
Would a gas room heater be convection conduction or raidiation?
it would emit heat in the form of radiation. It will also heat the air which will cause convection. However, these heated gasses will be vented out of the flue so as not to contaminate the air in the room.

How does the heat from a heater get to your body?
Infra red radiation directly, or by heating the air in the room (such as when the heater is around a corner. Or both.
A heater is able to blow warm air that heats a room because of?
it's because of heat transfer into convection .
Differentiate the three methods of heat transfer?
Convection, radiation, and conduction are the 3 types of heat transfer... Compare They all transfer heat from a hotter mass to a cooler mass. Contrast Conduction transfers heat through solids. Convection transfers heat through liquids and gases. Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves.

Where does conduction radiation and convection occure?
Condction-- In the Iron Box or Kettle from flame to Pot bottom Convection-- Airconditioning the room .Cooling takes place by movement of the cooler particles. Radiation-- From Sun transfer of heat. Or from a Bonfire in cols places.
What is the difference between a regular heater and a radiant heater And where can radiant heaters be purchased from?
Radiant heaters heat objects nearby them such as furniture and are usually cheaper. Regular convection heaters actually heat the air temp in the room.
