Explanation:
The forms of thermal energy transfer are;
- Conduction
- Convection
- Radiation
Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy that causes the particles of a medium to begin to move.
- The average kinetic energy is taken as the heat of the system.
- Heat energy is usually transferred from a place at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.
- Heat transfer by conduction occurs in solids when they are in contact.
- Heat transfer by convection occurs in fluids by the actual movement of the molecules of the medium.
- Heat transfer by radiation does not require particles.
