Transfer of thermal energy from one piece of matter to another?
I'm not sure I understand your question, but hopefully this answers it... There are 3 types of heat transfer. Conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat between objects that are in contact. In other words, the molecules from a hot object bounce into the molecules of another object and transfer their kinetic energy. Convection is the transfer of heat in which particles of matter transfer heat to another location. For instance, say you are boiling water. High energy molecules in the water carry their energy to the air molecules jsut above the water's surface. When this heat is transferred the water molecule will then sink to the bottom of the pot generating what we would call a convection current. And lastly radiation...Radiation is transfer of heat that does not require a medium (matter) to travel. This heat is transferred in the form of electromagnetic radiation (basically light of different frequencies). The sun does this everyday. It delivers a solar wind to planet Earth, keeping us warm! :D
What method is heat transferred through a metal skewer?
Conduction is the way in which heat travels through solids
How can Thermal energy can be transferred by conduction from one piece of matter to another only if they are what?
touching
What is The process by which heat moves from one piece of matter to another by direct contact?
It is conduction.
What radiation can be stopped by a piece of metal foil?
The radiation of an electron is Radiolectonoil. -Professor Lyle
If you are in space what way does heat travel?
The three ways that heat travels are conduction, convection and radiation. In space there is no matter between things so conduction and convection are not possible. But radiation does not need to travel trough matter so it can go through empty space. All of the light and heat from the Sun travels as radiation to the Earth.

Compare and contrast convection and conduction?
convection means when something is heated it expands or conducts eg. metal is heated it contracts when it is cooled it contracts.
What is flexible and a good conductor of heat?
no,as convection can never occur in solids[they allow only conduction].In a solid ,the particles[molecules] are closely packed together so then the cannot allow movement which is required in convection
What is the difference between an ordinary toaster and a toaster 4 slice?
An ordinary toaster is the classic two piece of bread toaster with settings that range from light to dark. A 4 slice toaster will hold 4 pieces of bread at one time.
Is a toaster convection or conduction?
Toasters have aluminum on the outside and heating bulbs on the inside. The heating bulbs heat up inside the body and warm the bread at high temperatures. The bread then becomes crisp and springs up out of the toaster.
Can a toaster explode if you stick a knife in it?
The toaster will not explode, but it could electrocute you or cause a fire.Do not ever stick any metal object into a toaster when it is plugged in, even if it is not turned on. If you have a piece of bread stuck in the toaster, unplug the toaster before trying to remove the bread.
When does convection take place?
convection takas place wen iron piece is heated
How does a toaster toast a piece of lemon?
Just stick a lemon in there and BOOM! U got a toasted lemon piece

Which method of heat transfer is most important in structural fires?
It depends upon the fire, but "convection" is important in almost all fires. Convection moves the heat of the fire vertically until it hits a barrier (ceiling) and then moves the heat along that surface "in search" of an opening above or to another room. As heat and smoke build up at the ceiling, they also superheat the ceiling, and the heat continues to spread throughout the room (including radiation). For purpose of fire-rated structures, "conduction" also plays a role, as things attached to the opposite side of a wall can ignite from conduction, if there is enough heat. Also, "radiation" is extremely important where flames and hot gases are large enough to radiate massive amounts of heat for hundreds of feet, perhaps igniting other structures or other nearby fuels. As for firefighters attempting to FIND and put out a fire, radiation (the feel of the heat) is an important issue, where there is zero visibility in thick, black smoke. The radiation penetrates the firefighter's face-piece, allowing him or her to approximate the direction to the source of the most intense heat and direct the hose stream in that direction.
