What is the definition of thermal conduction?

Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat through a material by the collision of molecules. It occurs in solids, liquids, and gases and is governed by the material's thermal conductivity and temperature difference.


What is the short definition for conduction?

Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without any movement of the material itself. This process occurs when vibrating particles pass on their energy to neighboring particles.


Why is heat transfer by direct contact of particles of matter to conduction?

That's a definition, not a question per-say.

What is scientific definition of conduction?

Conduction is the process of heat or electricity being transferred from one object to another through direct contact, without the movement of the objects themselves. It occurs when energy is transferred through the collision of particles in the material.


What is the transfer of energy as heat between objects that are in direct contact called?

That sounds like a definition of "conduction" - as opposed to convection or radiation, which are other modes of heat transfer.


Is thermal conduction the same as conduction?

Yes, thermal conduction and conduction are often used interchangeably. Thermal conduction specifically refers to the transfer of heat through a material due to a temperature difference.
