Heat transfer by convection happens when:

• there is a circulation of a hot fluid rising and cold fluid sinking, creating a circulating current

• there is space that heat travels through in electromagnetic waves outwardly in all directions

• two objects are touching and heat moves from one object into the next object.

Heat transfer by radiation happens when:

• there is a circulation of a hot fluid rising and cold fluid sinking, creating a circulating current

• two objects are touching and heat moves from one object into the next object

• there is space that heat travels though in waves outwardly in all directions

Heat transfer by conduction happens when:

• there is a circulation of a hot fluid rising and cold fluid sinking, creating a circulating current

• there is space that heat travels through in waves outwardly

• two objects are touching and heat moves from one object into the next object
