Does the transfer of thermal energy by conduction and convection require matter?

∙ 14y ago
yes both require the use of matter. conduction is basically passing heat from one particle to the next. convertion is heating a cold fluid and the hot particles move, allowing more cold particles to take their place and be heated. Hot air from a radiator raises, cold air moves in to take its place and is heated etc.

∙ 14y agoYes, because how else is the heat gonna move if there is no mass to expand and change it's density and move around so technically no energy will eventually move and no heat will be passed on, same thing with conduction, without matter, energy won't be able to move, the only possible way without the need of matter for energy to transfer is Radiation.

∙ 14y agoNo, what you've defined is conduction.

∙ 7y agoNot exactly. Conduction is the movement of SOMETHING. Thermal energy is one possibility, as is electricity.

Is thermal energy transferred through conduction convection or radiation?
thermal energy can transfer through conduction, convention and radiation
Three methods of thermal energy transfer?
Conduction, convection and radiation
How is heat transfer by radiation different form heat transfer by convection and conduction?
Radiation requires neither contact (through which conduction transfers heat) nor mass flow or movement (through which convection transfers heat). Only radiation can take place in a vacuum. Convection and conduction both require a material medium for the heat transfer to occur. Only radiation can transfer thermal energy through the vacuum of space.
What is the thermal energy transfer that occurs by the motion of fluid in liquid or gas?
you guys dont know this omg bye
What is the difference between conduction and convection?
Conduction transfers heat by direct contact. Convection, is the transfer of heat by movement of the medium, due to difference of density caused by changes in temperature.
How does hurricanes transfer thermal energy?
conduction and convection
What is more likely to occur in the water thermal energy transfer by conduction or convection?
Convection
Is thermal energy transferred through conduction convection or radiation?

Define the three methods of thermal energy transfer?
Conduction, convection, and radiation.
Which process transfers thermal energy by contact?
This proess is called conduction. The other processes are convection and radiation. Convection is the transfer of energy through movement, such as boiling water. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through a medium or space, such as the sun heating the earth.
How is heat transfer by radiation different form heat transfer by convection and conduction?
Radiation requires neither contact (through which conduction transfers heat) nor mass flow or movement (through which convection transfers heat). Only radiation can take place in a vacuum. Convection and conduction both require a material medium for the heat transfer to occur. Only radiation can transfer thermal energy through the vacuum of space.
Thermal conduction is the transfer of energy?
Yes it is. Heat is form of energy and can be transferred through 3 mode Conduction Convection and Radiation
What type of thermal energy transfer requires that objects touch?
There are different types of thermal energy like conduction, convection, and radiation. But the one that requires objects to touch is conduction.
What is the thermal energy transfer that occurs by the motion of fluid in liquid or gas?

What are the three ways to transfer thermal energy?
conduction ,convection ,radiation,there are also many others but there very rare
What is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies which are at different temperatures?
Thermal energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, or radiation. The formulae for the rate of transfer - if that's what you are after - vary, depending on which type of transfer is predominant.
