Which transfers heat faster water or metal?

Metals transfers heat faster because its a conduit. which means it allows electricity and heat to travel through it. plastic does not.This is also the reason why electrical wire is not made from plastic; it is a poor conductor.


Which heats up faster sand or metal?

Metal is a good conductor of heat while sand is an insulator. Therefore heat will spread throughout a piece of metal faster than it will through an equivalent weight of sand.

Why does meat thaw faster in cold water?

basically there are three modes of heat transfer. Convection - through waves like air and win, fans. Conduction - through contact. Ratiation - like heat from the sun conduction transfers heat faster than convection by putting the meat in water your switching the mode of heat transfer transfer from convection to conduction.


What is an example of transfer of heat through conduction?

Boiling a pot of water on the stove. The heat couldn't reach the water if it were not conducted through the metal pot.


What are the method to trasfer heat?

There are three types of heat transfer, one is conduction or heat transfer through solids, convection, which is heat transfer through liquids and the last is radiation which is heat transfer through gas medium
