Question

The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid is called: Think about it: Imagine a pocket of air over the land (“land air”), and another pocket of air over the ocean (“ocean air”).
Which air pocket would you expect to heat up more during the day?

Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

The transfer of heat by the movement of fluid is called Convection Heat Transfer

Explanation:

Heat transfer by convection is the transfer of heat by fluid transport from one place to another, such that convection takes place when the heat that comes in contact of fluid containing body is moved to other parts of the container by the transporting fluid

Heat is transferred within a fluid medium mainly by convection (movement of heat by the transfer of fluid particles in the medium)

Convection heat transfer is a combination of conduction and advection heat transfer
