What are the modes of heat transfer?

Question

Accepted Answer

Heat transfer occurs through conduction, convection, and radiation, each with distinct mechanisms and applications.

Conduction: Transfer of heat through direct contact; e.g., a metal spoon heating in a pot of hot soup.
Convection: Transfer of heat through fluid movement; e.g., warm air rising in a room, creating a circulation pattern.
Radiation: Transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves; e.g., feeling warmth from the sun or a heat lamp.

Accepted Answer

There are 3 modes of heat transfer,
Conduction: The transfer of heat through matter (i.e., solids, liquids, or gases) without bulk motion of the matter.
Convection:  The process of transferring heat through moving fluids or gases.
Radiation: A way of transferring heat energy from one place to another using electromagnetic waves.
