Methods of Heat Transfer

The video tutorial discusses the three methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction involves heat transfer through direct contact, where heat moves from a hotter object to a cooler one. Convection occurs in fluids, where heat is transferred through the movement of particles, creating convection currents. Radiation involves the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves, which can occur even in a vacuum. The video provides examples and explanations for each method, helping viewers understand how heat transfer works in different scenarios.
