HEAT TRANSFER CONVECTION

Convection is defined as the movement of fluid


Heat transfer is the movement of heat across the
molecules from higher temperature regions to
border of the system due to a difference in
lower temperature regions.

RADIATION
• Heat transfer by radiation occurs when
microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light,
or another form of electromagnetic
radiation is emitted or absorbed.
• Radiation heat transfer is measured by a

slow speed particles increase their kinetic

transfer and takes place through physical
contact.

conduction or heat conduction.
