The simplest answer is: the fire adds heat energy to the air molecules near it. The higher energy molecules start bouncing around faster. When these molecules move away from the fire, they carry the energy (heat) with them.

What heat transfer would a campfire be?

A campfire primarily transfers heat through convection and radiation. The fire heats the surrounding air, causing it to rise and create convection currents. The radiant heat from the fire also warms nearby objects and people.


What are some examples of radiation heating?

Is a campfire an example of a convection current?

Yes, a campfire is an example of a convection current. As the air closer to the fire heats up, it becomes less dense and rises while cooler, denser air moves in to replace it. This creates a circular flow of air known as convection.


What are the differences between infrared and convection heating methods?

Infrared heating uses electromagnetic waves to directly heat objects, while convection heating relies on the circulation of air to transfer heat. Infrared heating is more efficient and heats up quickly, while convection heating is slower but provides more even heating throughout a space.


The heat from a campfire is transferred by what energy?

The heat from a campfire is transferred mainly by the process of convection and radiation. Convection occurs as hot air rises and cooler air replaces it, while radiation transmits energy through electromagnetic waves.
