Heat Transfer 101

Conductors, Insulators, and Radiators, Oh My!

Heat transfer is the movement of thermal energy from one location to another. But have you ever wondered how it all works? Well, wonder no more! Let's dive into the wonderful world of heat transfer.

There are three types of materials that play a role in heat transfer:

• Conductors: These materials, like metals, allow heat to flow through them. They're like the heat superheroes of the material world!
• Insulators: These materials, like glass, don't let heat pass through. They're like the heat ninjas – sneaky and invisible!
• Radiators: These materials, like mirrors, reflect heat. They're like the heat magicians – they make it disappear!
