How is heat transferred by convection?

What will be an ideal response?


Heat transfer by convection involves the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of heated liquids or gases. Heat travels by natural or forced (fanned) currents of air that absorb the heat brought to a space (as with a hot water heating system convector, for example). As warm air passes over a cool surface, it transfers some of its heat to the cool surface. This convection current is a means for heat transfer and occurs in every building.
