Heat Transfer
Heat always moves from a warmer place to a
cooler place.
Hot objects in a cooler room will cool to room
temperature.
Cold objects in a warmer room will heat up to
room temperature.
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Conduction
Conduction heat transfer is the flowing of heat
energy from a high-temperature object to a
lower-temperature object.
Convection
Convection takes place when heated molecules
move from one place to another, taking the heat
with them. Convection is common in both the
atmosphere, as well as in the oceans.
Convection is the primary way that heat moves
through gases and liquids.

Where is the
freezer
compartment
put in a fridge?
It is put at the

Freezer
compartment
It is warmer
at the

this warmer
air rises and
a convection
current is
set up.
RADIATION
Radiation
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
Examples:
Sun
Fire
Light bulb
