By which mode is heat transferred in solids?


Conduction is the most significant form of heat transfer within a solid object or between solids in thermal contact. Heat flows in solids by conduction; when two objects are in contact with each other heat is transferred between them by conduction.

Heat flows in fluids (liquids and gases) by a process called convection, where a hotter part of the fluid rises because it's less dense, and is replaced by a cooler, denser part of the fluid.
