Question

Name and define the modes of heat transfer.

✓

Answer

The three modes of heat transfer are conduction, convection and radiation.
1. Conduction is the mode of heat transfer within a body or between two bodies in contact, from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature without the migration of the particles of the medium.
2. Convection is the mode of heat transfer from one part of a fluid to another by the migration of the particles of the fluid.
3. Radiation is the mode of heat transfer by electromagnetic waves / quanta.
