When fast-moving atoms or molecules hit slower-moving atoms or molecules and increase their speed, heat is transferred. This process is called conduction. The atoms in the hot spoon are moving faster ...

Students study the three modes of heat transfer - conduction, convection and radiation - by working in teams and conducting hands-on experiments. Examples of workstations include heat exchangers that ...

This article was originally published with the title “ The Conduction of Heat in Solids ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 207 No. 6 (December 1962), p. 92 doi:10.1038 ...

An experiment can be used to investigate ... Trapped air prevents heat loss by conduction and convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy from a region of high temperature to a region ...

The module is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different heat transfer process, namely conduction, convection and radiation ... Group work will be very important in the laboratory ...
