Differentiate between convection, conduction and radiation
Convection | Conduction | Radiation |
1.In conduction, heat transfer takes place between objects by direct contact. | 1.In convection, the heat transfer takes within the fluid. | 1.In radiation, heat transfer occurs through electromagnetic waves without involving particles. |
2.The heat transfer takes place due to the difference in temperature. | 2.The heat transfer occurs due to the difference in density. | 2.The heat transfer occurs in all objects with a temperature greater than 0 K. |
3.The heat transfer occurs through a heated solid object. | 3.The heat transfer occurs through intermediate objects. For example, heat transfer between air and water. | 3.The heat transfer occurs through electromagnetic waves. |
