According to Wikipedia, convection is a heat transfer proces that requires the presence of something to transfer that heat, but it is a process that happens in fluids. Conduction is transfer of heat from a hot object to a less hot object, in this case from a hot curling iron to your hair. Radiation heat transfer is by its nature different from convection in that it does NOT require a medium.

Since we are not talking about fluids or about heat transfer without the help of an medium, the process you are looking for is conduction

Is curling your hair conduction?

Yes it is! I went on this song called conduction, convection, and radiation, and a part of it said "curling my hair, conduction is there" So.... It is!


Is an iron convection radiation or conduction?

convection


Is a Iron conduction convection radiation?

A clothes iron uses conduction.


Is a iron convection conduction or radiation?

A clothes iron uses conduction.


Is a Curling iron conduction convention or radiation?

A curling iron uses conduction and convection to transfer heat to the hair. Heat is conducted from the heating element to the metal barrel, and then the hot barrel transfers heat to the hair through direct contact. Additionally, convection helps distribute the heat evenly on the surface of the barrel.


Is an iron an example of conduction convection or radiation?

An iron is an example of conduction. When you iron clothes, heat from the iron is transferred directly through the metal plate to the clothes, which is a form of conduction.


Is heat from a curling iron conduction?

yes


What type of heat transfer is a curling iron?

A curling iron transfers heat through conduction. The heat from the iron's heating elements is transferred directly to the hair when it comes into contact with the curling iron's barrel.


Is iron convection or conduction?

Iron is a good thermal and electrical conductor.


Is a iron conduction convection or raidiation?

Iron conducts heat. When iron is heated, thermal energy is transferred through the material by the movement of electrons within the solid structure. This is known as conduction. Iron can also emit heat in the form of radiation at high temperatures, but conduction is the primary mode of heat transfer in solid iron materials.


What type of heat transfer does a curling iron use?

A curling iron uses conduction heat transfer, where heat is directly transferred from the hot barrel of the curling iron to the hair strands that come into contact with it.


Where does conduction radiation and convection occure?

Condction-- In the Iron Box or Kettle from flame to Pot bottom Convection-- Airconditioning the room .Cooling takes place by movement of the cooler particles. Radiation-- From Sun transfer of heat. Or from a Bonfire in cols places.
