Lecture Material & Videos
- Although this lady talks like a robot, this video is super super simple and explains in an elementary fashion the difference between Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. This may help for students who get confused with seperating the 3 different forms of heat transfer, which is a very important first step in solving Heat problems. This video is short, roughly 3.5 minutes, but provides a valuable lesson. https://youtu.be/jr7d8BMzYzI
- Conduction, convection, radiation overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GQvMt-ow4w
- Thermal conductivity: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/thermodynamics/specific-heat...
- Here's a video explaining how conduction, convection and radiation occur with real life examples. I find it's a lot easier to understand concepts when I can understand how it applies to real life, so I found this video pretty helpful: https://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/mit-k12/mit-k12-physics/v/he...
- Great real world examples and explanation of of heat transfer; Heat Transfer: Conduction, Convection, Radiation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3ee3rSg7xs
