What is heat convection in the context of liquids and air?

• The process where heat is generated by friction between two surfaces.

• The transfer of heat through direct contact between molecules.

• The movement of heat through a vacuum.

• The transfer of heat through movement in liquids or air when warm liquids or air meet cooler ones.

What is forced convection?

• Natural movement of air without any external assistance.

• Heat transfer that occurs through solid materials.
