    Heat Transfer With Hot Coffee

    Uploaded by

    Joyce Suzzane Hyuuga
    Heat transfer occurs when hot coffee heats the paper cup through conduction, burning fingers, so coffee shops provide cardboard cup holders with air gaps to reduce heat transfer through conduction and force convection, which transfers less heat than conduction; plastic lids also help prevent spilling and reduce convective heat loss from the coffee.
