    This document discusses three types of heat transfer: conduction, radiation, and convection. Conduction occurs when heat passes through direct contact between objects, such as heating a pot of water on the stove. Radiation involves the emission and absorption of infrared waves, such as the sun heating the Earth. Convection relies on the circulation of fluids like air or water, exemplified by how air conditioners work by releasing cold, dense air that sinks and draws in warmer air.

    Preparation
    Heat Transfer Explanation
    Conduction When you put a pot of water
    on the stove to boil.
    Conduction heat warms the
    vessel, which then heats the
    water molecules.

    Radiation Radiation is a process where


    heat waves are emitted that
    may be absorbed, reflected or
    transmitted through a colder
    body. Sun heats the earth and
    the body come hotter.

    Convection The process of cooling air in


    air-conditioner employs the
    very principle of convection.
    The air which is cold is
    released by the air-
    conditioner. Now, this cold
    air is denser than the warm
    air, and hence, it sinks. The
    warm air, being less dense,
    rises and is drawn in by the
    air-conditioner.
