Question

Explain the difference in the heat transfer modes of conduction and convection.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Conduction is the heat transfer through a stationary matter by the physical contact.  

For example, the heat transferred between electric burner of stove and bottom of pan is transferred by the process of conduction.

Convection is heat transfer by macroscopic movement of the fluid. The particles of the fluid carry the current within themselves.  

For example, the water is the pot is warmed overall by heat transferred by the process of convection.
