Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the mode of heat transfer that occurs through a fluid due to density differences?
  • Step 1: Understand that heat can move in different ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.
  • Step 2: Identify that convection is a specific way heat moves through fluids (liquids and gases).
  • Step 3: Recognize that convection happens because of density differences in the fluid.
  • Step 4: Realize that when a part of the fluid gets heated, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler, denser fluid sinks.
  • Step 5: Conclude that this movement creates a cycle that transfers heat, which is called convection.
