In the convective transfer of heat, heat energy from the source is converted to the motion of particles in the convective medium (say, air). When these energized particles impact the target object, the object heats up. Heating by convection requires the presence of an intermediary fluid or gaseous medium, whereas heating via radiation or conduction does not.
