conduction, convection or radiation?

conduction, convection or radiation?

Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Toaster: Conduction as heat is transferred directly from heating - elements to bread.
  2. Hair - dryer: Convection as it blows hot air (movement of heated fluid).
  3. Iron: Conduction as heat is transferred from iron's hot surface to clothes.
  4. Campfire: Radiation as heat is emitted in the form of electromagnetic waves.
  5. Oven: Convection (hot air circulation) and Radiation (emission of heat waves).
  6. Person sunbathing: Radiation as heat from the sun reaches the person via electromagnetic waves.
  7. Grill: Conduction (direct heat transfer from grill surface to food) and Radiation (heat emitted from fire).
  8. Microwave: Radiation as it uses microwave radiation to heat food.
  9. Cup of coffee cooling: Conduction (heat transfer to cup and then to air), Convection (air movement around cup) and Radiation (emission of heat waves).
