Convection is the process of heat transfer through a liquid or gas, so it's like conduction except it is through a liquid or gas.

An easy example is to think of a pot of stew after it is done cooking and is removed from the stove. Denser material like beef, potatoes, vegetables, etc. will settle to the bottom of the pot. The broth remains on top and heat transfer occurs from the liquid first and faster than from the denser materials. The convection from the broth actually helps cool the denser material below.

What 2 types of materials will convection most likely occur?

Convection is most likely to occur in fluids, such as liquids or gases, due to the movement of their particles. Additionally, convection can also occur in certain solids that are capable of flowing, such as molten lava or heated metals.


Natural convection and turbulence are most likely to occur when?

Natural convection and turbulence are most likely to occur when there are significant differences in temperature or density within a fluid. This can lead to the formation of convection cells and vortices, which contribute to turbulence. Factors such as heating, cooling, and mixing can also enhance natural convection and induce turbulence in a fluid.
