- Abstract
- It is known that the transmission of heat is affected by conduction radiation or convection. The transfer of heat by convection results from the fact that different particles of a liquid or a gas may undergo movement with respect to other particles, which greatly aids the transfer of heat. One distinguishes in general two types of convection depending upon whether one acts on the movement of the particles (fored convetion) or not (natural convection).
