Learning Objective
I can describe the processes of conduction, convection, and radiation. And describe how insulation works
- 1
The driving force behind heat transfer is a difference in temperature; without a temperature difference, there is no heat transfer.
- 2
The three main types of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation.
- 3
Thermal resistance is defined as the thickness of a material divided by its thermal conductivity and area, and it determines how well a material resists heat transfer by conduction.
