Introduction

Heat travels in three forms; conduction, convection and radiation. In this experiment the process of convection and radiation was investigated. Convection occurs due to the fact that when a gas is heated its pressure will remain the same and its density drops. Therefore, in a system the warmest gas will always travel to the “top” of the system where density is at its lowest.

Heat travels through this form by creating a cycle of cold air replacing the risen warm air. The cold …show more content…
