Which method of heat transfer is fastest conduction convection or radiation?

Conduction . . . depends on the properties of the material through which the heat is conducted
Convection . . . depends on the physical movement of the material carrying the heat from level to level
Radiation . . . electromagnetic waves, moving from place to place at the speed of light.
Looks like Radiation would transfer heat the fastest.

What is the fastest heat transfer?
It depends on the medium of heat transfer. For solids, it is conduction heat transfer. For liquids and gases, it is convection heat transfer. for vacuum (no medium), it is radiation heat transfer.
Which is slower conduction convection and radiation?
Conduction is the slower compared to the other two convection and radiation. Radiation is nothing but electromagnetic wave which travels at the speed of light. It is the fastest. Convection is due to free movement of liquid molecules so it is also faster compared to the conduction becuase conduction is passing the disturbed information form one molecule to the other. Here disturbance is in the form of vibration.
How fast can thermal energy be transferred?
Thermal (heat) energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation. Radiation is the fastest of these since the transfer is via electromagnetic waves, from the infra red part of the spectrum. So the simple answer is the speed of light, 300 million metres per second in a vacuum. Richard Fell -Abbey Grange High School, Leeds.
Which is the fastest mode of transfer of heat?
radiation, of course.
Why transfer of heat in fluids take place by convection?
Heat transfer will use all three modes, but convection is (by far) the fastest, thus you can ignore the other two if you wish. This will produce errors in your calculations - you must decide if the errors are small enough to be acceptable.
