Which process transfers thermal energy by contact?
This proess is called conduction. The other processes are convection and radiation. Convection is the transfer of energy through movement, such as boiling water. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through a medium or space, such as the sun heating the earth.
An example of conduction convection and radiation working together?
a boiling pot because the stove radiates heat to warm the pot. the pot is touching the stove which is conduction. last when the pot is heated and boiling the steam is a form of convection. conduction could also be ice melting on a hot surface>
What are some everyday examples of convection?
When you are boiling water, it's an example of convection because the water at the bottom of the pot gets warm and becomes less dense causing it ti rise to the top and it then makes the cold water warm and the cycle continues. This is known as a convection current.
What are the three ways heat is transferred?
Conduction - a teaspoon dipped in hot waterWhen one end of a rod is heated, the atoms [in the rod above the flame] vibrate faster, bump into the neighbouring atoms and start them vibrating. In this way, the atoms conduct heat from the hot end to the cool end. But during the process, the atoms themselves do not move from one end of the rod to the other.Similarly, heat can be transferred between two bodies e.g., from a hot drink into and along a metal spoon.Conductionis the transfer of heat as a result of the direct contact of rapidly moving atoms through a medium or from one medium to another, without movement of the media.Materials that allow heat to travel through them in this way are called conductors. Metals are good conductors of heat. Non-metals such as plastic, clay, wood and paper are poor conductors of heat; they are also called insulators.Convection - a pot of boiling waterConvection occurs when a liquid or gas is in contact with a solid body at a different temperature and is always accompanied by the motion of the liquid or gas. In the kettle, hot water rises and cold water descends until all the water is at the same temperature. In the atmosphere, convection results in the movement of hot and cold air ... winds!Convection is the transfer of heat by the physical movement of the heated medium itself. Convection occurs in liquids and gases but not in solids.Radiation - how the sun's heat reaches the Earth's surfaceThe sun cannot transfer heat to earth by conduction [because there is no physical contact with the earth] or convection [because there is no liquid or gas between them]. The sun heats our earth by radiation which does not require contact or the presence of any matter between them.Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of waves through space [vacuum]. Dull black surfaces are better than white shining ones at absorbing radiated heat.An electric heater transfers heat by radiation [directly radiating its heat energy] as well as by convection. In convection, heated air near the heater rises and is replaced by cooler air and the cycle repeats thus warming up the entire room.
Difference between convection and conduction?
Convection is a natural process that occurs in nature all the time, and even in your kitchen. Take a pot of boiling water for example. the water closer to the flame becomes hotter than the water near the top of the pot. As we all know, warm things rise, and cold things fall. So the hot water replaces the cooler water at the top of the pat. Where does the cold water go? It is forced to the bottom of the pot, where it too is then heated up, and replaces the water at the top of the pot that by now has cooled of. In simpler terms, convection is the circulation of LIQUID (or GAS), driven by heat (or cold). Conduction would have to do with WHAT the pot is made of, and how quickly/easily heat is transfered through it. Most of the time, conduction travels through SOLIDS (and sometimes GASES, i believe). Take a light bulb and a batterie, for example. To create a circuit, you need energy to get from the batterie, to the lightbulb, and then back again. If you were to use wires made off rubber, the electricity would not transfer through the wiring. You would have to use a wire made of some sort of conductive material. Hope this helped a bit!

What are three ways heat move?
Conduction, Convection and Radiation For example, for conduction you can use a boiling pot of water. For convection you can use a blender. For radiation you can use the sun or another one is your cell phone.
Convection and radiation?
the process by which heat is transfered by the movement of molecules in liquids and gases is known as convection...eg-boiling of water

How does energy travel to Earth?
There are three types of transferrable energy: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction- heat that moves from solid object to solid object by physical means. Convection- heat that moves about a gaseous object (think about boiling water) Radiation- light energy that can travel through space and needs no object to transfer through. The correct answer for this question would be radiation.
What heat transfer is used in boiling?
conduction and radiation
Is barbecue conduction riadiation or convection?
I don't think so - I don't think any convection is involved. I think boiling uses all three though - heat is conducted, this radiates out and heats the water which when heated starts a convection current.
What are three ways heat can travel?
Conduction (through e.g. solid materials like metals that allow heat through - like a saucepan base) It is transformed into another object by touchConvection - in liquids and gases. Hot substances expand and so are less dense than cold substances. These less dense liquids and gases rise and cool ones fall forming a current. as an example, convector heaters in your home, the Gulf Stream that brings warm water from the Caribbean to Europe.Radiation - the method by which energy is transferred through a vacuum e.g. in the infra red heat energy from the sun as it travels across the vacuum of space.radiation, convection and conduction.
What are 2 processes for which thermal energy is required during boiling?
convection and radiation
How convection currents happen in a pot of boiling water?
Radiation and conduction have nothing to do with it. Convection causes the water at the bottom of the pot to heat up, lowering its density and sending it to the top of the pot. It then cools, increasing its density and sending to the bottom of the pot. Repeat.
What are the three types if heat transfer?
The three most common types of heat transfer are convection, radiation, and conduction. Convection is the movement of heat through a liquid. Radiation is the movement of heat from a distance like the sun warms the earth and a fire warms things that are near. Conduction is the transfer of heat through touch like when you touch a hot pan, stove, etc.
