    This color schlieren image reveals thermal convection from a human hand (in silhouette form) to the surrounding still atmosphere.. Two types of convective heat transfer may be distinguished:

  3. Prandtl number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl_number

    For air with a pressure of 1 bar, the Prandtl numbers in the temperature range between −100 °C and +500 °C can be calculated using the formula given below. [2] The temperature is to be used in the unit degree Celsius.

  4. Convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection

    Simulation of thermal convection in the Earth's mantle.Hot areas are shown in red, cold areas are shown in blue. A hot, less-dense material at the bottom moves upwards, and likewise, cold material from the top moves downwards.

  5. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

    Earth's longwave thermal radiation intensity, from clouds, atmosphere and surface.. Heat transfer is the energy exchanged between materials (solid/liquid/gas) as a result of a temperature difference.

  6. Convection zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_zone

    An illustration of the structure of the Sun and a red giant star, showing their convective zones. These are the granular zones in the outer layers of the stars. A convection zone, convective zone or convective region of a star is a layer which is unstable due to convection.
