  • Heat

    Introduction Heat is a form of energy that is transferred between systems or objects with different temperatures, flowing from the higher temperature system to the lower temperature one until equilibrium is reached. Heat and Thermodynamics In the context of thermodynamics, heat is described as the energy transferred across the boundary of a system due to…

  • Conduction

    Introduction Conduction is one of the three primary modes of heat transfer, the other two being convection and radiation. It involves the transfer of energy from more energetic particles of a substance to adjacent less energetic ones as a result of interactions between the particles. Mechanism In solids, conduction primarily occurs through the vibrations of…
