The transfer of heat by fluid?
The transfer of heat by fluid is convection.
Is convection the main type of heat transfer?
No, in the universe radiation heat transfer is by far the largest transfer.
Is conduction a heat transfer by direct contact of particles of matter?
Yes, whereas convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat via a liquid, and radiative heat transfer occurs through empty space (like the heat you feel from the sun).
What is the difference between heat transfer and mass transfer?
Heat transfer deals with the movement of heat and temperature gradients. The three types of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. Mass transfer deals with concentrations of a particular substance. Types of mass transfer include diffusion and convection.
How can heat transfer in liquids and gases be reduced?
Insulation will reduce heat transfer.
What is convective heat transfer?
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
What are two examples of heat transfer?
Convection - heat transfer through liquids.Conduction - heat transfer through solids.Radiation - heat transfer through vacuum.
What is a good hypothesis for insects light vs heat?
A hypothesis is a prediction on what you think will happen. For experiments on insects being attracted to light or heat, a hypothesis could be that insects are attracted to light over heat.
What is convective heat?
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
How does temperature affect the rate of heat transfer?
For conductive and convective heat transfer, the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the the temperature difference; if you double the difference you will double the rate of heat transfer. For radiative heat transfer, the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the difference of the 4th powers of the absolute temperatures.
The transfer of heat by fluid?
The transfer of heat by fluid is convection.
What is a hypothesis for which metal absorbs heat the most?
A hypothesis is a guess based on what you know. Which metal do YOU think will absorb heat the most? Write it as a statement and that will be your hypothesis: "I think _____ will absorb heat the most." It doesn't matter if your hypothesis is right or wrong, just that you have a guess.Of course, then you need to test your hypothesis and actually find out which metal does!
What do conduction and convection have in common?
They're both modes of heat transfer via material media.
Winds transfer heat energy by what method of heat transfer?
convection
How heat transfer is controlled?
There is a special mechanism that controls heat transfer.
Is convection the main type of heat transfer?
No, in the universe radiation heat transfer is by far the largest transfer.
Is conduction a heat transfer by direct contact of particles of matter?
Yes, whereas convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat via a liquid, and radiative heat transfer occurs through empty space (like the heat you feel from the sun).
