WebI am studying heat transfer and have learned there are three kinds of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Some examples are: Conduction: Touching a stove and being burned; Ice cooling down your hand; Boiling water by thrusting a red-hot piece of iron into it; Convection: Hot air rising, cooling, and falling (convection currents) Webthe conduction band is the higher energy levels of electrons Electrons can’t exist in the energy 'gap' between bands. Conduction is a movement of electrons in a solid. For conduction to occur...

WebConvection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Air current close to a radiator Heat energy is... WebPressure is caused by gas or liquid particles colliding with the walls of a container. Think of a bicycle tyre. Pressure increases when particles move faster. To do that you can either add more...
