What is the difference between the heat transfers?

Answer 1

Heat transfer is when heat energy is transmitted, or transferred. It happens through convection. conduction, or radiation. (convection = through currents like in a pot of soup warming on the stove- hot soup at the bottom rises and cooler soup sinks. conduction= direct contact. You touch a hot pan, the pan conducts heat energy to your hand. Radiation= energy traveling through empty space, like sun's heat to earth).

Heat transformation is when heat energy goes to another FORM of energy. For example, heat energy can be transferred to water, which produces steam, which can turn a turbine (mechanical energy), which can create electricity.

Answer 2

Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without any movement of the material itself, convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of liquids or gases, and radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
