  1. Thermal Concepts

Convection

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy due to movement of fluids.

Advection is the bulk movement of fluids that are transporting thermal energy.

At the boundary between a fluid and the object it is cooling, thermal energy is transferred between the fluid and the object.
