What is a mechanism that heat transfer does not need a medium to travel through?
Radiant heat (electromagnetic waves) does not require a medium. Sunlight, infrared light, microwaves are all radiant heat in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
Which type of heat transfer does not involve particles?
Radiant heat does not require particles. It involves light in the infrared range.
What method of heat transfer does not require a medium to travel why is it important?
radiant For one thing, it's how heat energy from the sun reaches us.
In what form does radiant heat transmit?
Radiant heat transmits in the form of waves.
What is the difference between radiant heat and convection heat?
In convection heat you heat the air first and then use the hot air to heat yourself. In radiant heat, the energy must be radiated directly from the heat element to your body. Note that radiant is much more directional.
Which method of heat transfer is the most important in a structure fire?
convection
What is radiant heat, how is it made, and where does it come from?
Radiant heat is wonderful. It takes heat from an energy source--such as electrical coils in a ceiling--and warms the surrounding area gently. In the case of ceiling radiant heat, the warmth gradually spreads through the room. Radiant heating in a floor is a better choice because heat rises.
Is radiant heat better than a traditional furnace?
In my opinion, radiant heat is better than a traditional furnace. You have more control over how much heat you want, and where you want the heat. Using radiant heat is also more cost effective.
What is a difference between heat energy and radiant energy?
Heat Energy is one FORM of Radiant Energy...it is not different.
What kind of heat is felt from the sun?
radiant heat.
What kind of floorings can go over radiant heat?
The floor you can install on top of the radiant heat is Tile and hardwood floor.
Does radiant floor heating work as well as radiant ceiling heating?
The answer is no. Radiant ceiling heating does not work as well as radiant floor heating in that heat rises so having heat in the ceiling will not be as efficient as heating in the floor.
