Solution
There are three modes of heat transfer:
- Conduction: Conduction is a process in which heat is transferred from the hotter end of an object to its cooler end.
- Convection: The process of transference of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) is called convection.
- Radiation: Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not require a medium.
