Heat Transfer: Energy Entropy

This document discusses different modes of heat transfer including conduction, convection, advection, and radiation. Conduction involves heat transfer through direct contact without particle movement. Convection requires particle movement driven by density differences from temperature variations. Advection also involves particle movement but through an external force like wind rather than density differences. Radiation transfers heat via electromagnetic waves. Examples of each mode are provided like conduction in a pot handle or convection in boiling water.

Heat Transfer

Heat transfer – is a phenomena that convey or


transfer of energy and entropy between bodies
under the influence of heat gradient from one
location to another.

Modes or mechanism of heat transfer:


a) Advection
b) Conduction
c) Convection
d) Radiation
