Energy transfer is when energy is transferred from one body/environment to another, usually involving a conversion of energy.
An instance where energy is simply being transferred would be a pot of boiling water. Heat from the stove makes the metal pan hot. It's molecules vibrate very energetically, causing the water molecules right next to the metal molecules to vibrate as well (the pot's walls or bottom and the water molecules directly in contact with them). Here, energy has been transferred from one body to another. Then the water molecule which gained energy(the ones right next to the pot's bottom) will vibrate, making their neighbouring water molecules to vibrate as well! And thus the energy will travel.
One instance where energy is converted and transferred would be when u press down a spring. The muscular energy (also called chemical energy) stored in ur muscles is converted to elastic potential energy of the spring! If u let go off the spring, it will jump back/spring up: the energy it will use to spring up is actually the chemical energy that was in ur arms but which had now been transferred to the spring.
Hope that helped (:

Which type energy transfer is occurring at each lettered area?
Letter A: Mechanical energy transfer Letter B: Thermal energy transfer Letter C: Electrical energy transfer
What type of energy transfer requires a fluid?
Convection is a type of energy transfer that requires a fluid. It involves the movement of heated fluid, such as air or water, to transfer heat energy from one location to another.
What type of heat transfer where heat energy is carried by particles?
Conduction is the type of heat transfer where heat energy is carried by particles. It occurs through direct contact between particles, causing them to transfer heat energy from one another.
What ue is energy that we want to transfer?
The type of energy that we want to transfer is typically kinetic energy, the energy of motion. In many cases, we transfer kinetic energy from one object to another by applying a force to move the object.

Which type of energy transfer occurs when a battery flashlight is turned on?
electrical energy
What is the rate which electric energy is convert to another type of energy?
The rate of energy transfer - any type of energy transfer, including this specific case - is called the power. The SI unit is the watt, which is equal to joules/second.
