Energy transferred from a higher temperature region to a lower temperature region is called heat. The process of the heat being transferred is called heat transfer. Heat transfer has four modes or mechanisms for taking place : ( 1 ) conduction ( 2 ) forced convection, ( 3 ) natural or free
convection , and ( 4 ) radiation.
Energy in transit from a hotter body to a cooler body is called HEAT.
conduction
heat transfer
it called heat transfer!
This question is misguided. It is the energy type that is transferred, not the source. The type is heat.
conduction
The law says that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another.... And energy always from higher potential to lower potential... Since hotter object is at high potential and cooler object at lower potential, the heat energy will flow from hotter to cooler object.
hotter to cooler areas?
known as heat transfer, which occurs through three main mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between molecules. In convection, heat is transferred through the movement of a fluid. In radiation, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
The energy itself is called "heat" or thermal energy. The process is called heat transfer and for objects in contact, it is "conduction" (as opposed to convection or radiation).
Heat energy will be transferred from the hotter objects to cooler objects until they are all at the same temperature.
This is the zeroth law of thermodynamics: objects at different temperatures will form a thermal equilibrium. The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can not be created or destroyed but can only change form. So the cooler object has to get hotter not the other way around.
