What is convection heat transfer?

Convective heat transfer, often referred to simply as convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids. Convection is usually the dominant form of heat transfer in liquids and gases. read more

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat. If there is a temperature difference between two systems heat will always find a way to transfer from the higher to lower system. read more

Heat transfer—the physical act of thermal energy being exchanged between two systems by dissipating heat—can be grouped into three broad categories: conduction, convection, and radiation. read more
