Heat loss
Mechanism Conduction Convection Evaporation Description Transfer of heat form one object to another by direct contact Movement of air and heat by air current Loss of heat through evaporation of water/sweat
Radiation
Transfer of heat from warm objects to cool objects in the form of electromagnetic waves
Pulse
