How does insulating hot water save energy
Insulating hot water will prevent heat from leaking out quickly, allowing easier heat up when needed.
What is radiation
the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another by electromagnetic waves.
random motion
particle movement in all different directions and speeds
diffusion
the movement of particles from one area of high concentration to low concentration
Conduction
is the transfer of particles by particle collisions or direct contact
convection
is the transfer of heat by movement of particles from one part of a material to another. Flow like motion
radiation
is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves
ex: convection
touching the stove and getting burned, or ice cooling your hand
ex: convection
steaming cup of tea, or cool air sinking
ex: radiation
sun giving off warmth, or heat from a lightbulb or fire.
