Formas de transmisión de calor.

  • The heat can be transmitted of three different forms:
  • Thermal conduction: it is when a thermal contact takes place between 2 or more bodies, due to the direct contact between the individual particles of the bodies that are to different temperatures, which it produces that the particles come to a thermal balance. Ej: metallic spoon in the cup of tea.
  • Thermal convection: only it takes place in liquids or gases. The heat transport is joined to the movement of the way. Ej.: the heaters inside the house.
  • Thermal radiation: it is the process by which it is transmited across electromagnetic waves. Ej.: The solar power.
