Heat can transfer through a fluid by conduction and/or convection (with convection being the most efficient). If the fluid is a gas then heat can also transfer through it by radiation (but this does not work in liquid fluids).

Convection is the transfer of heat through what?
Convection is "the transfer of heat through the motion of molecules in a fluid."
What three ways can heat travel through substances?
Conduction - Process of heat transfer through a medium or material without any movement of the medium or material. Convection - transfer of heat from one place to another through the movement of fluids. A fluid with a given density rises within a fluid of greater density and sinks within in a fluid of smaller density. Radiation - transfer of heat, in the form of waves from one place to another without a medium.
What method of heat transfer is known as conduction?
No,the transfer of heat by the movement of heated fluid is called convection.
What is convective heat transfer?
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
The transfer of heat by fluid?
The transfer of heat by fluid is convection.
A substance can absorb heat energy by the process of?
There are three methods by which substances absorb heat. These are conduction, or heat transfer through contact, convection, or heat transfer through fluid motion, and radiation, or heat transfer through electromagnetic radiation.
What is the term for heat transfer because of the heat of gas?
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, whether liquid or gas.
Can heat travel through space where there is no air?
It depends on how you want to look at it. heat can only be transferred three ways: Convection, which is transferring heat through a fluid, Conduction, which is transfer of heat through a solid, and by radiation, which is emitted light in the infrared wavelengths. radiation can travel through space just fine, but convection and conduction are right out if there isn't anything that can be heated up. Radiation doesn't require a medium, and can thus transfer heat through a vacuum.
What is the the term for heat transfer because of the movement of gas?
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, whether liquid or gas.
What is the term for heat transfer because the movement of gas?
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, whether liquid or gas.
Which type of heat transfer can only travel through fluids?
convection
Why does heat move by conduction in an empty space?
If you are asking about a box filled with a gas, then heat transfer can modeled as conduction through a solid. The requirement would have to be no fluid flow (obviously there is movement at the micro level), and the conductive heat transfer coefficient would be very low.Convection heat transfer is dependent on that conductive heat transfer coefficient of the liquid and is based on something called the Nusselt number.If you are asking about heat transfer through a completely void space, then heat would travel by means of radiation.
