Convection as Heat Transfer

Dear students who are tasked to do convection,

This entry is for you to look up for the convection websites below that might be useful for your discussion later with your groupmates.

For your info:

Convection: Heat transfer through the different density of fluid.

Takes place in liquid and gas
Hot water expands and becomes less dense, therefore it rises and occupies the cooler water at the top of the container. Cooler water sinks and get heated up by the heating element at the bottom. The cycle then continues.

Thank you.

For those who wish to help you friends with more weblinks, please put it inside the comment box below.
