The energy transfer is due to collision of the particles and or molecules. Cold milk has particles with less average kinetic energy. Hot cocoa has particles with a higher average kinetic energy. When mixed the particles collide and some transfer of KE takes place until they have a new average KE which is between that of the 2 separate substances. This means that the new temperature will be 'warm' or between the 2 original temperatures.
All waves can be thought of as mechanical waves, like sound waves. If there's an energy source at a point, the particles at that point will oscillate, meaning that they gain energy. These particles will bounce/collide with other particles in the surroundings, transferring this energy to them. In this way, the energy is carried away from the source and transferred somewhere else.
The reaction rate increases when reactant particles are able to collide more often and with more energy.
According to the kinetic molecular theory, gases consist of particles in constant random motion. Two postulates can explain why a sample of a gas does not cool down: First, the particles have a range of speeds, so while some may collide and transfer energy, others will collide and gain energy. Second, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles remains constant as long as the temperature is constant. Therefore, while collisions may occur and redistribute the energy, the overall average kinetic energy, and hence temperature, of the gas remains constant.
The transfer of energy by movement of particles is called Convection.
