Basic science teaches that heat is transferred through various ways. This is mainly dependent on the medium that is in place. The manner in which heat is transferred through the air is not the same way it is done through metals. The medium of transfer plays a major in determining among other things the length or period within which the heat is to be transferred (Siegel, 2011). Heat transfer occurs in three main ways. They include conduction, convection and radiation. This discussion looks at each of the three ways in which heat is transferred and gives examples of each method. Background Perhaps before discussing the various ways in which heat is transferred, it would be crucial to have some basic knowledge as far as heat transfer is concerned. The movement of heat and or transfer of heat take place from high temperatures to low temperatures. This means that it is objects with high temperatures that will transfer heat to those with low temperatures. Of importance to note as well is that transfers take place, there is usually a change in the energies that are found internally in both subject matters involved in the exchange. Conduction
