When fast-moving atoms or molecules hit slower-moving atoms or molecules and increase their speed, heat is transferred. This process is called conduction. The atoms in the hot spoon are moving faster ...

Heat energy can flow by conduction, convection or radiation. It always flows from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature i.e. from hot to cold. Conduction is the flow of heat ...

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object ...
