Thermal Energy Review

Three types of Heat Transfer


•Conduction
•Convection
•Radiation
Conduction
•Transfer of thermal energy through touching of solid
object
• For Example
• I use a spoon stir a cup of hot coffee. My spoon feel hot.
• I place another log into the campfire.
Convection
•Transfer of thermal energy through movement of
fluids
• Fluid can be in form of gas, liquid, or plasma
• For Example
• I boil some waters to have tea.
• Near the ceiling of a room the air is warming.
Radiation
•Transfer of thermal energy electromagnetic waves
• It doesn’t require any medium to transfer energy
• The energy can be either reflected or absorbed
• For Example
• Mrs. Lamm is feeling hot on a sunny day.
• Scott toasted pop tart for breakfast.
