Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary mechanism of heat transfer in liquids and gases?
Correct Answer: Convection
  • 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 and gases, which are both fluids.
  • Step 4: Learn that in fluids, heat transfer mainly happens through convection.
  • Step 5: Convection occurs when warmer parts of the fluid rise and cooler parts sink, creating a flow that transfers heat.
