Methods of Heat Transfer
There are three methods by which heat is transferred:
1. conduction, which is the transfer of heat energy from one substance to another by direct contact, and includes solids, liquids, and gases;
2. convection, which is the transfer of heat energy within a fluid, including the air in the atmosphere, and;
3. radiation, which is the transfer of heat energy through space via electromagnetic waves.
