Conduction vs. Convection

Conductionnoun

(physics) The conveying of heat or electricity through material.

Conductionnoun

The act of leading or guiding.

Conductionnoun

(obsolete) The act of training up.

Conductionnoun

The act of leading or guiding.

Conductionnoun

The act of training up.

Conductionnoun

Transmission through, or by means of, a conductor; also, conductivity.

Conductionnoun

the transmission of heat or electricity or sound

Convectionnoun

The process of conveying something.

Convectionnoun

(physics) The transmission of heat in a fluid by the circulation of currents.

Convectionnoun

(meteorology) The vertical movement of heat and moisture, especially by updrafts and downdrafts in an unstable air mass. The terms convection and thunderstorm are often used interchangeably, although thunderstorms are only one form of convection. Towering cumulus clouds are visible forms of convection.

Convectionnoun

The act or process of conveying or transmitting.

Convectionnoun

A process of transfer or transmission, as of heat or electricity, by means of currents in liquids or gases, resulting from changes of temperature and other causes.

Convectionnoun

the transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by molecular motion

Convectionnoun

(meteorology) the vertical movement of heat or other properties by massive motion within the atmosphere

Convection

Convection is single or multiphase fluid flow that occurs spontaneously due to the combined effects of material property heterogeneity and body forces on a fluid, most commonly density and gravity (see buoyancy). When the cause of the convection is unspecified, convection due to the effects of thermal expansion and buoyancy can be assumed.
