先进材料疑固实验室 Heat transfer Laboratory of Advanced Materials Solidification Convective heat transfer,referred to simply as convection,is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids.Convection is usually the dominant form of heat transfer in liquids and gases. Convection can be "forced"by movement of a fluid by means other than buoyancy forces(for example,a water pump in an automobile engine).Thermal expansion of fluids may also force convection. nced Mav 上浒充通大学 SHANGHAI JIAO TONG UNIVERSITYHeat transfer Convective heat transfer, referred to simply as convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids.
