Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary mode of heat transfer in liquids and gases?
  • Step 1: Understand that heat can move in different ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.
  • Step 2: Know that conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, and radiation is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves.
  • Step 3: Focus on convection, which is the movement of heat through fluids (liquids and gases).
  • Step 4: Realize that in liquids and gases, the particles can move around, carrying heat with them.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because of this movement, convection is the main way heat is transferred in liquids and gases.
