Conduction Heat Transfer(Mechanism and definition)
Conduction Heat transfer is the transfer of thermal energy between adjacent molecules in a substance due to temperature gradient. Conduction takes place in all forms of matter like solids,liquids, and gases.
In solids conduction heat transfer is due to combination of vibrations of molecules in the lattice and the energy transport by free electrons.
Example for conduction heat transfer is Heating of a rod with the help of a burner.
In liquids and gases it takes place by means of collision and diffusion of molecules during their random motion.
