Question

convection is a type of heat transfer that only occurs in fluids, such as in liquids or gases. Why do you think this is so?

Answer 1

Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another due to the movement of a fluid, involving the conduction and advection, being applicable in heat transfer in the contexts of thermodinamics. Because the process of convection needs heat diffusion (conduction) and heat transfer (advenction), it cannot happen in most of the solids because the molecules of a solid are rigid and hard to vibrate, being impossible to
