Conduction 14
Conduction 14 : The process by which heat is communicated from one body to another by direct contact or through an intervening solid-liquid or heat conducting medium. Some examples are; a steam pipe in contact with wood; a chimney flue in contact with attic or ceiling framing; a chimney flue in contact with attic or ceiling framing; a pair of pliers in contact with electrical conductors that are grounded through an electrode. The amount of heat transferred depends upon the heat conductivity of the materials and the area of thickness of the conducting mass. The rate of transfer is in direct proportion to the temperature differential between the points of entrance and departure
