Types of Heat transfer
 Heat Transfer
• Heat can be transferred in 3 ways
– Conduction
– Convection
– Radiation
• Heat flow depends on the temperature
difference – flows from hot to cold
Heat Conduction
• Conduction – is the transfer of
heat through materials by the
direct contact of matter

 Heat Conduction

When you heat a metal strip at one end, the heat travels to the
other end. As you heat the metal, the particles vibrate, these
vibrations make the adjacent particles vibrate, and so on and so
on, the vibrations are passed along the metal and so is the heat.
Convection – is the transfer of heat by the
motion of fluids (liquids and gases)

 Convection Currents
• Much of Earth’s climate is regulated by giant
convection currents in the ocean
 Heat Radiation
• Radiation – is the transfer of
heat by electromagnetic
waves – no medium
