You now barbecue is hot, but have you ever thought about the methods of heat transfer related to barbecue? a) at your barbecue party, what would be an example of heat by conduction?
b) at your barbecue party where would heat be transferred b convection?
c) there is also radiation from the barbecue. where would you best feel this?
d) in some grill oven you put your meat under the heating element your meat is grilled by the heat coming from above. it will take longer to cook this meat than a similar piece on the barbecue can you explain this?

Explanation:

There are three modes of heat transfer.

1. Conduction: It is the mode of heat transfer when the object is in contact with hot body and gradually the heat transfer from the hot end to the cold end.

2. Convection: It is the mode of heat transfer in which the molecules gets heated and moves up and the cold molecules comes down and the process continues till the entire liquid or gas is at same temperature.

3. Radiation: It is the process of heat transfer in which the heat is transferred in the form of heat waves.

(a) When the cook pot is placed on flame, it is the example of conduction.

(b) When the liquid is placed on the flame in a container, the liquid gets heated by the mode of convection.  

(c) We feel heat as we stand near the flame so it is the example of radiation.

(d) because the heat is trapped so it becomes hot in lesser time.
