What are three ways heat move?

Conduction, Convection and Radiation For example, for conduction you can use a boiling pot of water. For convection you can use a blender. For radiation you can use the sun or another one is your cell phone.


An example of conduction convection and radiation working together?

a boiling pot because the stove radiates heat to warm the pot. the pot is touching the stove which is conduction. last when the pot is heated and boiling the steam is a form of convection. conduction could also be ice melting on a hot surface>


Before the water in the pot can heat up the pot itslef must heat up does the pot heat up by conduction convection or radiation?

Conduction.


How convection currents happen in a pot of boiling water?

Radiation and conduction have nothing to do with it. Convection causes the water at the bottom of the pot to heat up, lowering its density and sending it to the top of the pot. It then cools, increasing its density and sending to the bottom of the pot. Repeat.


A spoon gets hot after leaving it on the pot is it conduction or convection or radiation?

Convention


What kind of heat flows through a boiling pot?

It would be convection. Convection occurs when heat is applied to a fluid.


When a pot of water is put on a stove the water on the top gets hot primarily by?

Convection


What are the heat transfer from a pot on a metal grill heated over a campfire?

You will have heat transfer to the pot by radiation from the hot coals and by a combination of conduction and convection as the hot gasses of the fire rise to the pot. You might also have some slight heating by conduction from the metal grill to the pot; the grill gets heated the same way as the pot by radiation and flames but may be slightly warmer than the pot since it is closer to the coals and lies between the flames and parts of the pot resting on it. The total heat transfer from the grill to the pot is probably minimal. We would hope that the contents of the pot get heated by the walls of the pot - by conduction and, if they are fluid, convection.


Why does rice swirl around a pot of boiling water?

I believe it is because of convection currents.


How is heat tranffered from the stove to the water when you boil a pot of water?

Essentially by conduction and in small part by radiation and convection.


How does conduction convection and radiation work?

Conduction: Heat transfer by direct contact, such as from an electric coil on a stove to the pot. Convection: Heat transfer though the air, such as in an oven. Radiation: Heat transfer via waves, such as from the Sun to Earth.


What is an example of transfer of heat through conduction?

Boiling a pot of water on the stove. The heat couldn't reach the water if it were not conducted through the metal pot.
