heat transfer

26
Q

the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance without movement of the material

A

conduction

27
Q

the movement within a fluid caused by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity which results in a transfer of heat
