What does matter need to transfer thermal energy?
It is both conduction and convection.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Rafaelrz.Conduction and Convection are two mechanisms of heat transfer.The requirement for a body to transfer thermal energy (Heat) to its immediatesurroundings the body is in contact with, is to have a higher temperature thanthe surroundings.
Does fire need energy?
No because it already is an energy.
Does the transfer of thermal energy by conduction and convection require matter?
yes both require the use of matter. conduction is basically passing heat from one particle to the next. convertion is heating a cold fluid and the hot particles move, allowing more cold particles to take their place and be heated. Hot air from a radiator raises, cold air moves in to take its place and is heated etc.
Which is defined as the ability to transfer heat?
The transfer of thermal energy is done through the process of heating. You would need to have good conductors of heat so as to transfer thermal energy.AnswerThe term, 'thermal energy' is obsolete. The modern term is 'internal energy' and it describes the sum total of all the energies (e.g. due to the vibration of the molecules, etc.) associated with any given body.You cannot 'transfer' internal energy. Internal energy can only be increased or decreased.'Heat', on the other hand, is defined as 'energy in transit from a warmer body to a cooler body'.'Work' describes the process of converting one form of energy into another.The change of a body's internal energy is the difference between the work done on that body and the heat transfer away from that body.
Why do you need to advocate efficient energy transfer?
energy transfer is like carla and jhorum <3

Does the transfer of thermal energy by radiation require matter?
Now, this question has two answers. To give rise to, and to absorb, thermal radiation, matter is needed. Energy in the form of gravitational or electromagnetic fields neither emits nor absorbs thermal radiation. However, thermal radiation, an electromagnetic wave, does not need matter to transverse space.
Why is heat not matter i need to know for sicience homework?
Heat is NOT matter. Heat is not even energy. It is defined as the "transfer of energy", so it refers strictly to the PROCESS of the TRANSFER of energy. My prof explained this to me in class, apparently many people misunderstand this.
Why doesn't thermal radiation need a medium to transfer heat energy?
Thermal energy is an electromagnetic wave, as light is. Light (and other electromagnetic waves) travel best through empty space. They consist of an electric and magnetic field, that propagates as a wave.
How mechanical and electromagnetic waves are similar.?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space.Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.

How can you tell whether one glass of water has more thermal energy than the other?
You would need to calculate, or estimate, the thermal energy.
How do you convert Mass into thermal energy?
You generally need a catalyst or a mechanism to convert the energy. For example to convert fuel (a mass) into thermal energy, oxidizer and a spark are needed.
What do not need matter to transfer energy?
Energy can travel through empty space as electromagnetic waves (light, etc.), or as gravitational waves. Changes in the electric and magnetic field are also energy transfers without matter. However, please note that any energy has, by itself, an associated mass.
