Answer:

Just as interesting as the effects of heat transfer on a system are the methods by which it occurs. Whenever there is a temperature difference, heat transfer occurs. It may occur rapidly, as through a cooking pan, or slowly, as through the walls of a picnic ice chest. So many processes involve heat transfer that it is hard to imagine a situation where no heat transfer occurs. Yet every heat transfer takes place by only three methods:

Conduction is heat transfer through stationary matter by physical contact. (The matter is stationary on a macroscopic scale—we know that thermal motion of the atoms and molecules occurs at any temperature above absolute zero.) Heat transferred from the burner of a stove through the bottom of a pan to food in the pan is transferred by conduction.

Convection is the heat transfer by the macroscopic movement of a fluid. This type of transfer takes place in a forced-air furnace and in weather systems, for example.

Heat transfer by radiation occurs when microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, or another form of electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed. An obvious example is the warming of Earth by the Sun. A less obvious example is thermal radiation from the human body.

Conduction:

As  you walk barefoot across the living room carpet in a cold house and then step onto the kitchen tile floor, your feet feel colder on the tile. This result is intriguing, since the carpet and tile floor are both at the same temperature. The different sensation is explained by the different rates of heat transfer: The heat loss is faster for skin in contact with the tiles than with the carpet, so the sensation of cold is more intense.

Convection :

In convection, thermal energy is carried by the large-scale flow of matter. It can be divided into two types. In forced convection, the flow is driven by fans, pumps, and the like. A simple example is a fan that blows air past you in hot surroundings and cools you by replacing the air heated by your body with cooler air. A more complicated example is the cooling system of a typical car, in which a pump moves coolant through the radiator and engine to cool the engine and a fan blows air to cool the radiator.

Radiation :

You can feel the heat transfer from the Sun. The space between Earth and the Sun is largely empty, so the Sun warms us without any possibility of heat transfer by convection or conduction. Similarly, you can sometimes tell that the oven is hot without touching its door or looking inside—it may just warm you as you walk by. In these examples, heat is transferred by radiation. That is, the hot body emits electromagnetic waves that are absorbed by the skin. No medium is required for electromagnetic waves to propagate. Different names are used for electromagnetic waves of different wavelengths: radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Our current model of a chemical bond is to think of it as an electrical interaction between what two parts of an atom
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

It involves the thinking of it as an electrical interaction between the positively charged part of an atom and the negatively charged part as well. Succinctly put, the interaction between the proton of an atom and the electron of an atom.

The relationship between these two sub atomic particles is one of the basis for many chemical bonding, and this is inclusive of all the bonds there exist. Hydrogen, Electrovalent and even Covalent bondings to mention but a few

HELP PLEASE!! (100 points)
MrRa [10]

Answer:

As you cool a matter to absolute zero, their kinetic energy reduces significantly and the molecules slows down and begins to aggregate together. ... As heat is added, the molecules gain more kinetic energy. This shown in their increase motion. When heat is withdrawn, the particles slows down hope this helped

What are the three main technical support options for Microsoft users? Find It Myself, Ask the Community, Get Live Help Communit
Katen [24]

Answer:

Find It Myself, Ask the Community, Get Live Help

Explanation:

The three main options for Microsoft users are Find It Myself, Ask the Community, Get Live Help. The first of which is finding it yourself through the search menu or help guidelines provided by Microsoft in all of their operating systems. Secondly, would be asking the community through search engines such as Google or through Microsoft help forums. Lastly, would be getting live help since Microsoft opertaing systems have a remote desktop feature that allows you to connect to another IT professional from a distance, or you can simply contact an IT professional to visit you in person for technical assistance.
