its nothing like diffusion actually diffusion is when water goes from a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area.

When heat travels by conduction or convention it has to travel?

Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic diffusion and collisions of particles or quasi-particles within a body due to a temperature gradient.Convective heat transfer, often referred to simply as convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids. Convection is usually the dominant form of heat transfer in liquids and gases. Although often discussed as a distinct method of heat transfer, convective heat transfer involves the combined processes of conduction (heat diffusion) and advection (heat transfer by bulk fluid flow).So heat must travel by diffusion, movement of fluids, or both; concerning conduction and convection.


Does convention occurs in solids?

Convection of mass cannot take place in solids, since neither bulk current flows nor significant diffusion can take place in solids. Diffusion of heat can take place in solids, but is referred to separately in that case as heat convection.


What is the name of the process by which air moves and carries heat energy with it?

In thermodynamics it is called Enthalpy for all possible means: radiation, convection, diffusion. It always has a negative value.


Why does heat flow happen?

1- its diffusion 2- its convection it moves from a high concentration to a low concentration place


How is heat energy lost through the body?

Heat energy in the human body is transferred to the ambient environment. To accelerate this transfer evaporation of moisture, sweat, assists. Generally the heat transfer is by radiation, thermal diffusion and conduction.

Can heat be described as diffusion?

Not so much heat itself, but the transfer of heat, has a lot of similarity to the concept of diffusion.


Why do you think temperature affect rate of diffusion?

Temperature affects the rate of diffusion, by speeding up the movement of molecules. For example it kind of like when going from water to steam. The water molecule get heat added and speed up, like that of diffusion.


When ice gains heat from water is it an example of diffusion?

No. Conduction of heat.

What does diffusion look like? No a picture of what it looks like


How does heat affect diffusion?

Adding heat to a system will increase the rate at which something with diffuse in a fluid.


What are two ways to increase the rate of diffusion?

Agitation and heat.


What processes does not use ATP muscle contraction active transport heat production diffusion of oxygen cytoplasmic?

Diffusion of cytoplasmic oxygen.


What is the fastest heat transfer?

It depends on the medium of heat transfer. For solids, it is conduction heat transfer. For liquids and gases, it is convection heat transfer. for vacuum (no medium), it is radiation heat transfer.


what is the modes of heat transfere?

radiation radiation travels at the speed of light, which is very quick diffusion is slow. convention is faster than diffusion.


Energy that drives diffusion?

Diffusion occurs via random atomic [and molecular] collisions. The Kinetic Energy that is needed to accomplish this is derived exclusively from Heat. No Heat, or even Warmth, yields no Diffusion.


Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?

Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).


What is the definition of contagious diffusion?

Contagious diffusion is a branch of expansion diffusion. It refers to a cultural trait spreading across a population like a disease.
