The Efficient Engineer Understanding Conduction and the Heat Equation Posted: March 11, 2025 | Last updated: March 11, 2025 Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at ...

When fast-moving atoms or molecules hit slower-moving atoms or molecules and increase their speed, heat is transferred. This process is called conduction. The atoms in the hot spoon are moving faster ...

Heat energy is conducted from the hot end of ... This process is very much faster than conduction caused by just passing vibrations from atom to atom. Hence, conduction in metals is faster than ...

When the free electrons absorb heat energy, they move much faster. As they move through the metal, free electrons crash into metal ions. This process is very much faster than conduction caused by ...
