APPLICATIONS OF HEAT TRANSFER

a) Applications of conduction

Uses of good conductors of heat:

1. Cooking utensils e.g. saucepans, frying pans, boilers,
base of electric irons.

USES OF GOOD CONDUCTORS OF

HEAT

USES OF BAD CONDUCTORS OF HEAT

3. Handles of cooking utensils are made of wood or
plastic.

b) Applications of convection
1. The heating coil of an electric kettle is placed at
the bottom so that convection current can occur.

APPLICATIONS OF CONVECTION
2. Ventilation in homes which is used to keep
rooms cool.

Windows, doors or other vents can be opened or closed

as needed to reduce the temperature and improve the
quality of the air you're breathing.

APPLICATIONS OF CONVECTION
3. Convection currents in a fridge.

C) APPLICATIONS OF RADIATION
1. Why are houses painted white in hot countries?
- White reflects heat radiation and so keeps the house
cooler.

APPLICATIONS OF RADIATION

Radiators in cars are

painted black.
