| description | In heat transfer, conduction (or heat conduction) is the transfer of thermal energy between regions of matter due to a temperature gradient. Heat spontaneously flows from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, and reduces temperature differences over time, approaching thermal equilibrium. The previous statement can be argued to apply to heat transfer in general, but to distinguish conduction specifically, it should be stated that the heat flows through the region of matter itself, as opposed to requiring electromagnetic waves as does radiation or to requiring bulk motion of the matter as does convection. Conduction takes place in all forms of matter, viz. solids, liquids, gases and plasmas, but does not require any bulk motion of matter. In solids, it is due to the combination of vibrations of the molecules in a lattice or phonons with the energy transported by free electrons. In gases and liquids, conduction is due to the collisions and diffusion of the molecules during their random motion. In the engineering sciences, heat transfer includes the processes of thermal radiation, convection, and sometimes mass transfer and often more than one of these processes occurs in a given situation. |
