Want this question answered?
Insulation is not a method of heat transfer.
Insulation is the exact opposite. Conduction is a method of energy transfer, insulation is the reduction or prevention of energy transfers
Conduction.
Loft insulation stops conduction and convection as the insulation which is inserted into the wall cavity prevents the particles of heat energy from traveling through the wall cavity, this stops conduction from taking place. Loft insulation also prevents convection as the cavity insulation stops the air particles from moving, therefore they cannot transfer heat and convection cannot take place.
Insulation reduces heat loss by replacing air space with a less conductive material (insulation). Therefore the answer is conduction.

Heat conduction is the process of transferring heat energy through direct collisions between particles.Heat insulation is when poor heat conductors (insulators) prevent heat to escape.your butt smells weird but heat is conducting it.
Conduction.
By using solid thermal insulators.

by conduction process.
Conduction is the term for heat transfer because of direct contact.
The best material for work gloves handling burning metal are typically made from leather and Kevlar with an insulation filling to prevent heat transfer through conduction. Insulation material and insulation grams will largely determine the duration of time a glove will resist heat.
Ovens retain heat by utilizing insulation. The insulative coverings help prevent thermal conduction through the walls of the oven.
Insulation reduces heat loss by replacing air space with a less conductive material (insulation). Therefore the answer is conduction.
