Want this question answered?
Heat transfer by Brownian motion takes place only in fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas).
transfer heat by fluid motion
Yes, whereas convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat via a liquid, and radiative heat transfer occurs through empty space (like the heat you feel from the sun).
Insulation will reduce heat transfer.
Convection needs something flowing to carry heat. That means a liquid, such as water, or a gas, such as air. Solids don't flow. They block convection.

transfer heat by fluid motion
Yes, whereas convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat via a liquid, and radiative heat transfer occurs through empty space (like the heat you feel from the sun).
Heat transfer occurs whenever two or more objects of different temperatures are in contact with each other. Spilling hot water on yourself causes heat transfer from the water to you. When you drive your car the hot engine and radiator transfer heat to the surrounding air in order to cool the engine.
Conduction: Transfer of heat in solids Convection: Transfer of heat in liquid and gases (convection currents are the motion of which the heat travels in, see hot air balloon's) Radiation: Transfer of heat through vacuum (space i.e no particles)
Insulation will reduce heat transfer.
Convection is the transfer with in the fluid. If a container of hot liquid is touching something then it is conduction. If the heat is travelling through the air then it is radiation.
expantion
Gas (water vapor in the air) to liquid (on the surface).
Convection needs something flowing to carry heat. That means a liquid, such as water, or a gas, such as air. Solids don't flow. They block convection.
