  1. Thermal conduction - Wikipedia

    Conduction is heat transfer through stationary matter by physical contact. (The matter is stationary on a macroscopic scale—we know there is thermal motion of the atoms and molecules at any …

  2. Heat Transfer - Conduction, Convection, Radiation

    Sep 18, 2022 · Conduction requires that molecules touch each other, making it a slower process than convection or radiation. Atoms and molecules with a lot of energy have more kinetic …

  3. Conduction - Center for Science Education

    Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules. Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where …

  4. CONDUCTION Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
