What is hot to cold?

hot to cold is heat transfer


How can heat energy transfer from hot body to cold body?

Modes for heat transfer are:convection (the air around a warm object gets hot and rises)conduction(direct contact)radiation(like the heat you feel from the sun)


Does hot air go to cold or vice versa in the process of heat transfer?

In the process of heat transfer, hot air moves to cold air.


Which direction does heat transfer occur: does heat go to cold or does cold go to heat?

Heat transfer occurs from hot to cold. Heat always moves from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.


What is the major difference between conduction and radiation?

Conduction requires contact, radiation does not. Radiation in regards to thermodynamics is the straight line (line of sight) transfer of heat from a hot body to a cold body with no intervening fluid to convey that heat. Example: a flame will heat an object some distance from it by radiation as long as the transfer of heat is unobstructed. Place an object between the two and this flow of heat will stop. Conduction is the flow of heat between a hot body to a cold body by direct contact. Separate the two bodies and this flow of heat stops. Note: transfer of heat by an intervening fluid is convection. The hot body heats the fluid, then the fluid heats the cold body. All three forms of heat transfer occur in most practical heating applications.


Why does heat flow from a hot to cold body?

Heat flows from hot to cold because when hot and cold bodies contact with each other (thermal contact), the fast moving molecules of the hot body collide with slow moving molecules of the cold body; therefore the molecules of hot body become slower and body becomes cool, and the molecules of other body (cold) becomes faster and the cold body becomes hot. Notice: when molecules of a body moves faster it's kinetic energy increase therefore temperature increases and it becomes hot.


What will happen when a cold material interacts with a hot material?

When a cold material interacts with a hot material, heat will transfer from the hot material to the cold material until they reach thermal equilibrium. This will result in the hot material cooling down and the cold material heating up. The rate of heat transfer will depend on the temperature difference between the two materials and their thermal properties.


Is hot and cold real?

no. Cold is just the heat in your body leaving so people just think they are cold. Hot is just heat coming in your body.


What type of heat transfer occurs when hot water flows through cold water?

Convection is the type of heat transfer that occurs when hot water flows through cold water. As the hot water moves through the cold water, it transfers heat energy to the surrounding cold water, causing it to warm up. This results in a transfer of heat through the movement of the fluids.


How does energy from heat transfer from a hot source to a cold source?

Convection


Is it possible for heat to flow from colder body to a hot body?

No, heat typically flows from a hotter body to a colder body in a process known as heat transfer. This is based on the second law of thermodynamics, which dictates that heat naturally flows from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature.


What heat transfer when you feel heat from a hot stove?

The heat transfer you feel from a hot stove is mainly due to conduction. This is the transfer of heat through direct contact with the hot surface. The heat flows from the stove to your body, causing you to feel the sensation of heat.
