    The document discusses different methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. It provides examples of each: 1) Radiation is responsible for transferring heat from the Sun to Earth. Conduction and convection cannot be involved because they require physical contact while radiation does not. 2) Convection causes a hand to feel hot above a lighted match, as the hot air rises and transfers heat to the hand. 3) Insulation like fibreglass keeps a room warm by slowing heat transfer through conduction and convection between the room and outside. So in summary, the document defines and provides examples of the three methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.

    Fig. 5.1 shows a shallow dish containing a liquid that evaporates easily. The bulb of a thermometer is
    held in the liquid. A jet of air is blown over the surface of the liquid, so that the liquid evaporates
    rapidly.
