Methods of heat transfer

• Methods of heat transfer

  • Conduction (solids)
  • Convection (Fluids-Liquids & gases)
  • Radiation (all states)
• Heat energy


  • Heat energy is a measure of the kinetic energy of particles
  • Hotter particles vibrate more, and cooler particles vibrate less
  • Heat moves from a hotter object, until both objects reach the same temperature
