Heat transfer

Question 1

law of conservation of energy

Answer 1

energy can not be created or destroyed just transferred (under normal conditions).

Question 2

heat

Answer 2

thermal energy that flows due to a difference in temperature. heat flows from hot to cold.

Question 3

heat transfer

Answer 3

a method by which heat flows (conduction,convection, radiation).

Question 4

conduction

Answer 4

heat transfer within or beneath a solid object

Question 5

convection

Answer 5

heat transfer into or out of fluids

Question 6

radiation

Answer 6

heat transfer due to packets of energy called photons that can travel through many substances, even empty spaces

Question 7

insulator
