Heat transfer is the transition of thermal energy from a hotter mass to a cooler mass. When an object is at a different temperature than its surroundings or another object, transfer of thermal energy, also known as heat transfer, or heat exchange, occurs in such a way that the body and the surroundings reach thermal equilibrium; this means that they are at the same temperature. Heat transfer always occurs from a higher-temperature object to a cooler-temperature one as described by the second law of thermodynamics or the Clausius statement.

What is convective heat transfer?
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
How do you make a working model of heat transfer?
metal
What heat transfer make ice cream faster?
nothing
What are two examples of heat transfer?
Convection - heat transfer through liquids.Conduction - heat transfer through solids.Radiation - heat transfer through vacuum.
What heat transfer method allows earth to receive energy from the sun?
Gas is used to heat transfer the sun, and which can make a thing called solar energy.
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.
What is convective heat?
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
The transfer of heat by fluid?
The transfer of heat by fluid is convection.
What energy transfer make the most heat?
Thermal energy
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.
