What method of heat transfer is known as conduction?

No,the transfer of heat by the movement of heated fluid is called convection.


What is the transfer of heat through gases and liquids called?

Heat can be transferred through liquids and gases by means of conduction as well as conduction.The difference is that convection is not possible in solids.ConductionDuring conduction, heat is transferred due to the vibration of the molecules. A molecule at a higher temperature has more energy, and hence vibrates faster. It collides with other atoms and passes energy onto it. The chain continues and heat is transferred without any appreciable movement of molecules.ConvectionIn convection, the hotter particles move around in the fluid, transferring energy to the colder molecules. For example, when heating water in a vessel on a stove, the water at the bottom is heated first. It rises to the top and the cooler water flows down to be heated. This continues and heat is transferred throughout the fluid. Heat is transferred with the movement of molecules.


What is the transfer of heat by movement of heated liquids or gases?

There are three basic heat transfer mechanisms: Conduction, Convection andRadiation. Heat transfer in opaque solids is just by Conduction. In gases andliquids all three mechanism can contribute to heat transfer.The Convection Mechanism of Heat Transfer is the transportation of heat bythe bulk motion of the fluid. If this motion is produced by buoyancy effects thatarise from the fluid having different temperatures (and so different densities) at different points, it is called Natural Convection. If the motion of the fluid is produced by a pressure gradient (like a fluid been forced to flow through a heated pipe),the heat convection mechanism is called Forced Convection Heat Transfer.


Energy is usually transferred in fluids by radiation true or false?

Oh, dude, false! Energy in fluids is mostly transferred through convection, where the hot fluid rises and the cooler fluid sinks. Radiation is more like when the sun heats up your face at the beach, not so much what's going on in your morning coffee. So, yeah, it's all about that convection, not the radiation.


The transfer of heat between two objects touching is called?

When a cold object and a hot object are in direct contact (touching) heat will be transferred through thermal conduction. Normally, heat transfer processes are categorized as thermal conduction, radiative transfer or convection. Heat transfer through thermal conduction is the direct transfer of kinetic energy from one molecule to the nearby molecules. Because temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy, interactions between neighboring particles exchange energy and that exchange energy gradually works it way from the higher temperature regions to the lower temperature regions. The process of the temperature becoming the same is called thermal equilibration. Convective heat transfer occurs in fluids. If a gas, liquid, or other fluid, changes in fluid density change the buoyancy and will cause fluid to flow (a process called convection) and the heat contained in the warmer fluid is transferred to a new location by the physical movement of the fluid. Radiative transfer occurs when a hot object radiates electromagnetic energy. While the sun is an obvious source of electromagnetic energy, it is also generated in smaller amounts by any object. The hotter objects radiate more electromagnetic energy and the cooler objects absorb it. This radiative transfer is important but not as noticeable usually as the other two. It does occur between objects whether they are in direct contact or not, but is usually so small as not to be important of the objects are touching.

Is it true or false that radiation is the transfer of heat by the movement of a heated fluid?

False. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, while the transfer of heat by the movement of a heated fluid is known as convection.


What is the movement of the fluid called?

Convection is heat transfer by the movement of heated fluids. Heat transfer is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.


What is transfer of thermal energy by the movement of a fluid?

This is called convection. One part of the fluid is heated and when it moves to a region of less energy it gives up some heat.


What method of heat transfer is known as conduction?

No,the transfer of heat by the movement of heated fluid is called convection.


What is the transfer of therma energy by the movement of fluid?

The transfer of thermal energy by the movement of fluid is called convection. This process occurs when heated fluid rises and cooled fluid sinks, creating a circulating flow that transfers heat from one location to another. Convection is a common mechanism in natural processes such as weather patterns and ocean currents.


What type of energy transfer requires a fluid?

Convection is a type of energy transfer that requires a fluid. It involves the movement of heated fluid, such as air or water, to transfer heat energy from one location to another.


What is the movement of heat called?

Convection is heat transfer by the movement of heated fluids. Heat transfer is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.


What is the movement of a heated fluid?

When a fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and tends to rise while cooler fluid sinks to replace it, creating a movement known as convection. This movement helps to transfer heat throughout the fluid by circulating hot and cold regions. The process continues as long as there is a temperature difference driving the fluid movement.
