Density and Heat Transfer Quiz

Samuel is studying heat transfer and comes across the term 'convection'. What is convection?

• The transfer of energy from one substance to another

• The process that drives the cycle of fluid flowing with heat rising and cold sinking.

• The transfer of heat through direct contact

• The transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves
