its nothing like diffusion actually diffusion is when water goes from a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area.

What are the differences between convection and diffusion in terms of their mechanisms of heat transfer?

Convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, such as air or water, while diffusion involves the movement of heat from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration without the need for fluid movement.


When heat travels by conduction or convention it has to travel?

Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic diffusion and collisions of particles or quasi-particles within a body due to a temperature gradient.Convective heat transfer, often referred to simply as convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids. Convection is usually the dominant form of heat transfer in liquids and gases. Although often discussed as a distinct method of heat transfer, convective heat transfer involves the combined processes of conduction (heat diffusion) and advection (heat transfer by bulk fluid flow).So heat must travel by diffusion, movement of fluids, or both; concerning conduction and convection.


What is the name of the process by which air moves and carries heat energy with it?

In thermodynamics it is called Enthalpy for all possible means: radiation, convection, diffusion. It always has a negative value.


How does the process of diffusion differ from convection in terms of the movement of particles?

Diffusion involves the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid. In diffusion, particles move randomly, while in convection, particles move in a specific direction due to the flow of the fluid.


What is parabolic heat equation?

The parabolic heat equation is a partial differential equation that models the diffusion of heat (i.e. temperature) through a medium through time. More information, including a spreadsheet to solve the heat equation in Excel, is given at the related link.

How does heat affect diffusion?

Heat generally increases the rate of diffusion by increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules, causing them to move more quickly and spread out more rapidly. This is because higher temperatures lead to increased collisions among molecules and can break down barriers that may hinder diffusion. However, extreme heat can also denature molecules and disrupt the process of diffusion.

What is the fastest heat transfer?

It depends on the medium of heat transfer. For solids, it is conduction heat transfer. For liquids and gases, it is convection heat transfer. for vacuum (no medium), it is radiation heat transfer.


what is the modes of heat transfere?

radiation radiation travels at the speed of light, which is very quick diffusion is slow. convention is faster than diffusion.


Why do you think temperature affect rate of diffusion?

Temperature affects the rate of diffusion, by speeding up the movement of molecules. For example it kind of like when going from water to steam. The water molecule get heat added and speed up, like that of diffusion.

What is the definition of contagious diffusion?

Contagious diffusion is a branch of expansion diffusion. It refers to a cultural trait spreading across a population like a disease.


Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?

Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).


What environmental factors affect diffusion?

Diffusion is affected by various environmental factors, like temperature.
