What else can I help you with?
Describe how the process of heat conduction occurs in terms of the atoms in a meterial?
Heat is a measure of the (average) speed of the molecules within any material. If you add heat then the local speed increases ... but each time a molecule collides with another one then the faster one slows and the slower one speeds up (on average), thus the heat (energy) spreads - this is conduction.
Does conduction produce heat?
no, conduction describes how the heat is transported not how it is generated. With conduction, a heat source is still needed.
What are two examples of heat conduction that are observable in everyday life?
Two examples of heat conduction that are observable in everyday life:- heat conduction through walls- heat conduction through clothing- heat conduction from many home appliances
What is something that slows the flow of heat?
Insulation materials such as fiberglass or foam slow down the flow of heat by reducing heat conduction. These materials have low thermal conductivity, which means they are not good conductors of heat and can help to trap heat within a space.
What is the differ of conduction and convection?
conduction by itself is slower to heat but conduction and convection is faster to heat
How are heat and conduction related?
Conduction is one way that heat spreads.
What is the transfer of heat by particles colliding with each other called?
That sounds like a description of heat conduction.
When does conduction stop?
Conduction typically stops when there is a difference in temperature between the two materials in contact. As the temperature equalizes, conduction slows down and eventually ceases.
What is the term for heat transfer of direct contact?
Conduction is the term for heat transfer because of direct contact.
Conduction how does heat moves?
Conduction heat moves by using movement of fluids.
How does conduction conduct heat?
Conduction heat moves by using movement of fluids.
Does loft insulation reduce heat loss by conduction convection or radiation?
Loft insulation primarily reduces heat loss by conduction. It works by trapping air in the material, which slows down the transfer of heat through the building's ceiling. Some insulation materials may also help reduce heat loss through convection by preventing air movement within the insulation layer.
