Heat transfer through convection occurs when heat is transferred by the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). This movement can be caused by natural convection, where warmer fluid rises and cooler fluid sinks, or by forced convection, where a fan or pump is used to circulate the fluid. Convection is an important mechanism for heating and cooling systems, cooking, and weather patterns.

How is heat transferred through liquids and solids?
Heat can be transferred through liquids and solids via conduction, convection, and radiation. In solids, heat is primarily transferred through conduction, where vibrating particles pass on energy to neighboring particles. In liquids, heat is transferred through both conduction and convection, where heated fluid rises and cooler fluid sinks, creating a circulation of heat. Radiation involves the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves and is more significant in the absence of a medium.
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
What is canvection and what is coduction?
I think you mean convection and conduction. The first is the transfer of energy through a fluid and the second through a solid. The third way, through a vacuum, is radiation.
What is the transfer of heat by the movement of particles in the fluids called?
The transfer of heat by the movement of particles in fluids is called convection. This process involves the transfer of heat through the movement of the fluid itself, such as hot air rising and cooler air sinking.
When you get cold while your swimming does your body lose heat from conduction convection radiation or reflction?
"Reflction" (I assume you mean "reflection") isn't really a way to lose heat. Convection is really only important within a body; it's largely irrelevant when talking about heat transfer from one distinct body (you) to another (the water). There may well be convection in the water, but that has only a secondary impact on you and how cold you are.That leaves radiation and conduction. Both of these processes are going on, but of the two, conduction is by far the more significant in this particular case.
How is heat transferred through a radiator?
Heat is transferred through a radiator primarily by convection. As hot water or steam flows through the radiator, it warms the metal fins of the radiator. The warm metal then heats the surrounding air, which rises and creates a convection current, transferring heat into the room.

What does it mean for heat to be transferred by convection?
Energy is transferred through moving currents of warmer air or liquid.

What are three ways heat is conducted?
Do you mean "transmitted" or "exchanged" instead of "conducted"? Conduction is one of three methods of heat exchange. The other two are convection and radiation. Conduction is heat exchanged when a material directly touches a cooler material. The atoms in the hotter material vibrate against the atoms in the cooler material, causing the cooler atoms to vibrate faster and become warmer. Convection is heat exchanged when a material moves from one place to another. In a home heating system, hot air from the furnace or radiator is blown around the house, and the house is thus heated by convection. Radiation is heat exchanged by electromagnetic radiation. The Earth is heated by light (electromagnetic waves) from the Sun.

What does 'energy transferred' mean?
Energy can be transferred from one location to another as in the sun's energy travels through space to Earth. The two ways that energy can be transferred are by doing work and heat transfer. Also energy can be transferred from one object to another.
How heat transfered by convection?
Convection is the process by which heat is transferred by a "fluid" (which, in this case, can actually mean a liquid or a moving gas - both are considered "fluids"). Heat is always transferred from an area of high heat to an area of low heat, regardless of the method. When your hand touches a hot stove, heat moves from the stove to your hand to try to "even out" the amount of heat between the two objects. In convection, heat is first transferred from an area of high heat to the fluid, then from the fluid to an area of (relatively) lower heat. Imagine you're sitting downwind of a bonfire. The wood has lots of heat - some of it is transferred to the air. The air is pushed toward you by wind, and when the air hits your skin, there is another heat transfer because your skin has less heat than the air. The net result is a transfer of heat from the wood to your skin, and we say this is by convection. Another example might be the way everything in a small kitchen gets warm in a hurry when things are baking in a hot oven. Some radiation occurs, but lots of air picks up heat from the stove, and then rises to be displaced by cooler air. The hot air heats things in the upper regions of the kitchen, and then cools and sinks. It then may return to the stove to pick up more heat as hot air there continues to circulate upward. Convection currents in air transfer heat.
How many kind of heat is there?
Think you mean types of heat transfer? Radiation, Convection, and Conduction.
What does convection mean in science terms?
convection is the transfer of heat in a liquid or gas by thermal energy from one part of a fluid to another. ;0)
