Convection in daily life

We turn on the fan on hot

summer days to help our
body cool more effectively.
The higher the fan speed,
the better we feel.

We stir our soup and blow

on a hot slice of pizza to
make them cool faster.

The air on windy winter

days feels much colder
than it actually is.

The simplest solution to

heating problems in
electronics packaging is to
use a large enough fan.
