If you are asking about a box filled with a gas, then heat transfer can modeled as conduction through a solid. The requirement would have to be no fluid flow (obviously there is movement at the micro level), and the conductive heat transfer coefficient would be very low.

Convection heat transfer is dependent on that conductive heat transfer coefficient of the liquid and is based on something called the Nusselt number.


If you are asking about heat transfer through a completely void space, then heat would travel by means of radiation.

Is empty space a good insulator and why?

Yes,empty space is a good insulator because heat cannot move through empty space by conduction or convection.


What are 3 ways heat energy can move?

Conduction through solids, convection through liquids and gases, and radiation through empty space.


Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?

conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth


Does heat move only where atoms and molecules are?

No. There is empty space between the sun and earth, but radiant heat gets through that empty region.


How does heat move as a solid?

How did the heat move from the burger to the cheese?

A process of conduction and radiation. Conduction of the heat from the cooked patty and the radiant heat of the grill or broiler.


What are three forms of energy transfer?

Conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is when heat is transferred directly between materials. convection occurs when heated materials move from one place to another heating matter along the way. Radiation is when waves of heat move through space.


How does heat move out from the inner core to the surrounding layers?

The heat is passed through conduction ,from one atom to another that is why the core is hotter than surface ;some heat is lost in space.
