Why transfer of heat takes place faster in liquids than in solids and what is the process where heat flows in the absence of any medium?
Conduction usually happens in solids. The particles in liquids or gases are farther apart than in solids. This makes it easier for gas and liquid molecules to move around. Thus, liquids and gases more often transfer heat through convection. Radiation is the only form of heat transfer that can occur in the absence of any form of medium
Please tell me: why did you ask and answer this elementary science question?
Jack,
You will find that Dr Naresh has asked, and then answered, an astonishing number of questions.
I have repeatedly asked him this same question - as it surely is in conflict with the role of ResearchGates's 'question' section where we:
"Ask a technical question to get answers from experts, or start a scientific discussion with your peers."
He is not asking an honest question, and is not interested in discussion.
I fear that he is attempting to 'game' the system.
One should distinguish between heat transfer in transparent and opaque condensed media
