PHYSICS OF HEAT | INTRODUCTION Temperature Temperature is a measure of the heat or kinetic energy of the particles within a substance. There are three primary mechanisms of heat transfer: convection, conduction and radiation. All three mechanisms occur within Carbolite Gero products. In convection heat transfer occurs by the movement of gases or liquids. The movement occurs within a fluid or gas by the tendency of hotter, and therefore less dense, material to rise, and colder denser material to sink under the influence of gravity. This results in transfer of heat. Most Carbolite Gero products...
