Which two methods of heat transfers are possible with liquids?

Coduction and convection.


6 different heat transfers?

# Coduction # Radiation # Convention # Latent heat # Heat pipes # I learned that convection currents transfer heat throughout the troposphere. (part of the atmosphere)


How is conduction and convection alike?

because they bothhave heat transer


Heat moves through solids by?

coduction


What is canvection and what is coduction?

I think you mean convection and conduction. The first is the transfer of energy through a fluid and the second through a solid. The third way, through a vacuum, is radiation.


How conduction convection and radiation are alike and how they are different?

Conduction, convection, and radiation are all methods of heat transfer. They are alike in that they involve the movement of heat energy from one object to another. However, they are different in terms of the mechanisms involved: conduction transfers heat through direct contact between objects, convection transfers heat through the movement of fluids, and radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves.


How is convection alike in liquids and gases?

Convection is similar in liquids and gases because both involve the movement of particles due to differences in temperature. In both cases, warmer particles rise while cooler particles sink, creating a circular flow of fluids to transfer heat.


How radiation and convection is alike?

Conduction, Convection, and radiation are all ways that heat can be transferred between 2 objects. Conduction is transfer by direct contact like when you cook something on the stove. Convection occurs when heat is transferred by movement like in the Earth's mantle. Radiation occurs when waves are used to transfer heat like sunlight.


When the heated part of the mantle rises through the cooler parts this an example of?

Convection


Is a convection current the same as a convection?

Yes. Convection is a type of energy and a convection current is, well, the phrase for its currents. So yeah, convection and convection current are the same.


Can you use foil in convection oven?

Yes, you can use foil in convection ovens and regular ovens alike (despite the different names all ovens are convection ovens, ovens labeled convection ovens are just faster). However, NEVER and I mean NEVER use foil in a microwave. Then it will go BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!My Oster convection oven manual has a safety warning regarding foil: "Do not cover the oven tray with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the appliance."


What is the scientific name for convection?

The scientific name for convection is "convection."
