3.4 Heat Transfer There are three different methods of heat transfer.

Purpose: To observe and describe three methods of heat energy transfers in a number of situations. Station Equipment Observations 1 The conduction ring is made of four different metals. Each has a blob of wax at an equal distance from the centre. Place it on a trip over a Bunsen burner (blue flame). 2 Fill a 500mL beaker with cold water and let it settle. Gently add one purple crystal of potassium permanganate to one side at the bottom. Gently heat on a blue flame. metal aluminium brass iron copper order of wax melting Type of heat transfer and explanation CONDUCTION -
