MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER
There are three ways to transport energy from one location to the other
1) Conduction
2) Convection
3) Radiation
CONDUCTION
In the case of conduction the particles share energy with neighbours. In this case the
energy of the thermal motion is passed along from one molecule to the next , while each
individual remains at its original position. Apart from the atomic vibrations , the rate of
conduction also depends on the properties of the substance. For example , it is possible to
hold a piece of asbestos in a flame indefinitely. This implies that very ...
