  2. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

    Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as thermal conduction, thermal convection, thermal radiation, and transfer of energy by phase changes. Engineers also consider the transfer of mass of differing chemical species (mass transfer in the form of advection), either cold or hot, to achieve heat transfer. While these mechanisms ...

  3. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

    Conduction heat flux q k for ideal gas is derived with the gas kinetic theory or the Boltzmann transport equations, and the thermal conductivity is =, -, where u f 2 1/2 is the RMS (root mean square) thermal velocity (3k B T/m from the MB distribution function, m: atomic mass) and τ f-f is the relaxation time (or intercollision time period ...

  4. Convection (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_(Heat_transfer)

    Familiar examples are the upward flow of air due to a fire or hot object and the circulation of water in a pot that is heated from below. Forced convection: when a fluid is forced to flow over the surface by an internal source such as fans, by stirring, and pumps, creating an artificially induced convection current. [3]

  5. Space heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_heater

    All space heaters transfer heat to their environment via some combination of the three fundamental modes of heat transfer: convection, radiation, and conduction. Typically heaters are designed with either convection or radiation as the sole dominant mode.

  6. Thermal radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation

    Thermal radiation is one of the fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer, along with conduction and convection. The primary method by which the Sun transfers heat to the Earth is thermal radiation. This energy is partially absorbed and scattered in the atmosphere , the latter process being the reason why the sky is visibly blue. [ 3 ]

  7. Convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection

    Convection, especially Rayleigh–Bénard convection, where the convecting fluid is contained by two rigid horizontal plates, is a convenient example of a pattern-forming system. When heat is fed into the system from one direction (usually below), at small values it merely diffuses ( conducts ) from below upward, without causing fluid flow.

  8. The Difference Between Convection and Conventional Ovens - AOL

    Convection ovens also allow you to cook multiple items at once. This comes in handy during the holidays when time is of the essence. But be sure not to overload the oven, because too many pans ...

  9. Thermal bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_bridge

    Heat transfer occurs through three mechanisms: convection, radiation, and conduction. [4] A thermal bridge is an example of heat transfer through conduction. The rate of heat transfer depends on the thermal conductivity of the material and the temperature difference experienced on either side of the thermal bridge.
