Thermal Energy (Heat) is the form of energy that is transferred from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature.
Transfer of thermal energy only occurs when there is a difference in temperature.
Transfer of thermal energy is based on 2 things
1. Temperature
2. Flow of Heat
1. Temperature
Temperature represents the amount of thermal energy available.
2. Flow of Heat
Flow of heat represents the movement of thermal energy from place to place.
The three main methods of heat transfer are:
1. Conduction
2. Convection
3. Radiation
