14.2 Convection

The process of heat transfer most significant in fluids (liquids and gases) is called convection. In this process the atoms or molecules migrate from one to place another . Thus transfer of heat occurs due to transfer of heated matter. It is readily observed in the form of convection currents in the liquid. One can think of colored water moving from regions of temperature to lower ones.
