In my question it tells me to write and example of heat convection and why my example uses convection. But I'm having a hard time finding one. Can anyone plz help me :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you know what convection is? right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try this. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda haha i can't really explain it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you're looking for a way heat transfer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a way to show heat transfer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just an example of one... like i was thinking of using a hot air balloon but i have a hard time explaining things

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..... maybe a thermometer could work...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm... ill look it up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope it doesnt use heat convection .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats conduction .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

T_T I did this stuff in fourth grade.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

crap.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i'm in 7th .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm also in 7th. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you use connections?!?!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did the link help? no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat. Use boiling water as an example! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can also be using gas, so you could use an oven, too. When you're baking something, CONVECTION is used because the hot air rises to bake the thing and the cool air sinks/goes out a vent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG THATS SO UNDERSTANDABLE OMG TYYY

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol you are so welcome! You could also use a space heater. When you turn on a space heater, the warm air is blown up (rises) into the air and the cool air sinks to be filtered through the space heater to make more hot air. This is how the room heats up.
