Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main mechanism of heat transfer in liquids?
  • Step 1: Understand that heat transfer is how heat moves from one place to another.
  • Step 2: Know that there are three main ways heat can transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
  • Step 3: Focus on liquids, where convection is the main way heat moves.
  • Step 4: Learn that convection happens when the liquid moves, carrying heat with it.
  • Step 5: Realize that as the liquid heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler liquid moves down to take its place, creating a flow.
