Week 12: Heat Transfer

Let's review the different forms of energy before we get into this week's topic.


We can't talk about energy without addressing heat! Now how exactly is heat related to this discussion of energy? Well, our focus is to look at the 3 ways in which heat is transferred.  

Conduction - heat transfers through direct contact between particles

Convection - heat transfers between warmer and cooler fluids (liquids and gases)


Radiation - heat transfers through empty space



What are some examples you can come up with for each type of heat transfer after watching the video?
