Heat is transferred WITHIN solids by conduction. Since solids are not fluid heat transfer by convection cannot take place. I theory heat could be transferred within a solid via radiation if there were huge voids but the temperature difference necessary to transfer much heat by that mechanism would have to be so large that heat transfer via conduction would probably still the dominant mode of heat transfer - to the point of making any radiative heat transfer insignificant.
The two applications of the process are to warm something up by bringing it into contact with a warmer solid (like the old warming pans they put in beds during colonial times) or to cool something down by bringing it into contact with a cooler solid (like putting an ice pack on a sprain).

How is energy transferred by solids liquids gases and vacuum?
Heat energy is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation. In a vacuum, heat energy can only be transferred by radiation.
Which type of heat transfer is most important in solids?
Heat is generally transferred in solids with the conduction mode.In conduction mode,heat is trasferred by lattice vibration.
How is heat transferred through liquids and solids?
By means of the atomic vibrations about their mean position.
How is heat transferred when objects touch?
When objects touch, heat is transferred by the process of conduction. Conduction is when heat transfers when molecules collide!
Why can't heat be transferred by convection in solids?
Because the molecules of a solid do not move [much] from their location.
By which mode of heat transfer heat is transferred in solids?
the process of transfer of heat energy in solids is known as conduction.. For more info-- the process of transfer of heat energy in liquids and gases is known as convection.. And the process of transfer of heat energy without any material medium is known as radiation..

How does heat through solid?
The process of conduction is how heat moves through solids. With solids, the heat energy is passed on by the atoms.

What is the process where heat is transferred through glass?
radiation
When heat is transferred from the sidewalk to your feet by what process?
