What is heat transfer by convection caused by?
Heat transfer during convection heating is simply caused by diffuse expansion through liquid with regard to the force of buoyancy. This phenomenon can be noticed in nature as well as forced in the lab
Convection only occurs in due to particles moving not just heat transfer as in conduction?
Yes, convection is the transfer of heat through bulk movement of a fluid, gas or liquid. The movement can be natural caused by density differences, or can be forced.
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.
Describe how heat is transferred from one place to another by convection?
Convection is the transfer of heat in a gas or liquid caused by differences in density, thus when molecules in the medium are heated they form a less dense gas or liquid which then rises through the cooler unheated medium, thus creating moving warm currents.
Is it true or false that energy is transferred to the surface of the sun by the processes of radiation and conduction?
It's false because the transfer of energy through matter by direct contact of its particles is conduction.Have a nice day :)
What is the definition of a Convection cell?
The transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by molecular motion.
What does convection mean in science terms?
convection is the transfer of heat in a liquid or gas by thermal energy from one part of a fluid to another. ;0)
What are convection currents created by?
Convection currents are the flow of fluid (liquid or gas) caused by the molecular motion resulting from the transfer of heat through the fluid. In meteorology it is the vertical movement of atmospheric gases caused by heat, atmospheric pressure, condensation of water vapor, and other factors.
Do inter-molecular forces occur as a result of being in the liquid state or does a liquid state exist because of inter-molecular forces?
The liquid state is caused by intermolecular forces.
What is heat transfer by convection caused by?
Heat transfer during convection heating is simply caused by diffuse expansion through liquid with regard to the force of buoyancy. This phenomenon can be noticed in nature as well as forced in the lab
What is surface tensiona measure of?
The surface tension caused over a liquid is cased by the molecular bonds of the liquid.
What is a great sentence for convection?
Convection is defined as the transfer of heat through a fluid,(liquid, or gas form) caused by motion of molecules. A pot of water on the stove, warms through the process of convection.
How can sound transfer in liquid?
Same as in the air, through vibrations.
Convection only occurs in due to particles moving not just heat transfer as in conduction?
Yes, convection is the transfer of heat through bulk movement of a fluid, gas or liquid. The movement can be natural caused by density differences, or can be forced.
When you run an electrical current through liquid water the water molecules are split apart to form oxygen and hydrogen gas. This transfer of energy caused a change to the of water?
Yes, this is an electrochemical reaction.

What is heat convection?
Convection is the transfer of heat by circulation through a gas or liquid.
