Quick check from College Physics, 14.4 Heat Transfer Methods
Name an example from daily life (different from the text) for each mechanism of heat transfer.
Answer it in your own words before you look.
Conduction: Heat transfers into your hands as you hold a hot cup of coffee.
Convection: Heat transfers as the barista “steams” cold milk to make hot cocoa.
Radiation: Reheating a cold cup of coffee in a microwave oven.
