Energy Transfer

Energy transfer is the transfer of energy from one object or material to another.

There are a few main ways that energy transfer occurs:

  • Radiant energy (radiation)
  • Heat conduction (travelling heat)
  • Convection (currents of warm air)
  • Electrical power transmission
  • Mechanical work (machines)

Famous quotes containing the words energy and/or transfer:

    “The persons who constitute the natural aristocracy, are not found in the actual aristocracy, or, only on its edge; as the chemical energy of the spectrum is found to be greatest just outside of the spectrum.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If it had not been for storytelling, the black family would not have survived. It was the responsibility of the Uncle Remus types to transfer philosophies, attitudes, values, and advice, by way of storytelling using creatures in the woods as symbols.”
    —Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
