Convection: Understanding the Transfer of Thermal Energy in Fluids

The video explores thermal energy transfer in fluids, focusing on convection. It explains how thermal energy moves from high to low temperature regions, and details the particle behavior in gases and liquids. The concept of convection currents is introduced, illustrating how less dense, warmer fluids rise above denser, cooler ones, creating a circular flow. Practical examples, such as air near a radiator and water with food dye, demonstrate convection in action.
