Conduction.
Convention
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.
Boiling a pot of water on the stove. The heat couldn't reach the water if it were not conducted through the metal pot.
As the stove heats up the pot, heat is transferred from the pot to the water through conduction. Within the pot, heat is transferred through convection from the hot water molecules to the cold ones.
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.
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>
Conduction.
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.
Convention
It would be convection. Convection occurs when heat is applied to a fluid.
Convection
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.
I believe it is because of convection currents.
Essentially by conduction and in small part by radiation and convection.
