ConductionConvectionRadiation

1. Heat transfer takes place between objects by direct contact.

Heat transfer takes place within the fluid.

Heat transfer takes place through electromagnetic waves without involving particles.

2. Heat transfer takes place due to the difference in temperature.

Heat transfer takes place due to the difference in density.

Heat transfer takes place in all objects with a temperature greater than 0 K.

3. Heat transfer is slow.

Heat transfer is faster.

Heat transfer is the fastest.

4.  Heat transfer takes place through a heated solid object.

Heat transfer takes place through the intermediate object. For example, heat transfer between air and water.

Heat transfer takes place through electromagnetic waves.
