Yes, convection is the transfer of heat through bulk movement of a fluid, gas or liquid. The movement can be natural caused by density differences, or can be forced.

When are particles necessary for heat traveling?

Particles are necessary for heat transfer in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between particles, like in solids. In convection, particles transfer heat by moving within a fluid, such as air or water. In radiation, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves, and particles are not necessary for this type of heat transfer.


Is the transfer of heat by moving liquid or gas called conduction?

No, the transfer of heat by moving liquid or gas is called convection. Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without the movement of the material itself.


What do conduction convection and radiation mean?

conduction is the transfer of heat between two surfaces in contact with each other convection is the transfer of heat into a moving fluid radiation is the transfer of heat via electromagnetic waves


Is it true that conduction involves energy passing between vibrating particles?

Yes, in conduction, energy is transferred by direct contact between vibrating particles. When two objects at different temperatures come into contact, the faster-moving particles transfer energy to the slower-moving particles, leading to a transfer of heat.


Is it true or false that heat travels through solids by conduction?

True. Heat travels through solids by conduction, which is the transfer of heat through direct contact between particles within the material. This process occurs as the faster-moving particles transfer energy to neighboring slower-moving particles.

What are the three processes of heat transfer?

The three methods of heat transfer are: (1) Conduction - particles bump into other particles, transferring energy. (2) Convection - moving masses carry heat with them. Especially, hot air (for example) tends to rise up, because of its lower density - the heat difference itself causes the currents. (3) Radiation. Objects radiate electromagnetic radiation, depending on their temperature. (The amount of energy radiated increases quickly at higher temperatures.)


Transfer of energy by movement of particles is?

Convection is the movement of particles due to a gradient of energy. Heat energy is thus transfered by the moving particles.

Heat convection does not occur in solids because?

Because the atoms do not move around. The whole idea of convection is that 'groups' of things move about. In the case of heat convection these moving groups take or bring their heat with them.

Is a hairdryer a form of conduction?

No, a hairdryer is not a form of conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two objects or substances. A hairdryer uses convection, which is the transfer of heat through a fluid (such as air) moving over an object.


Convection currents move heat more slowly than what?

Convection currents move heat more slowly than conduction, as conduction is the direct transfer of heat through a material without the material itself moving. In contrast, convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, such as air or water, which is generally slower than conduction.
