Explain Heat transfer and Mass transfer

Question

Accepted Answer

Heat transfer is the movement of thermal energy from one object to another, while mass transfer is the movement of substances from one place to another.

Heat transfer can occur through conduction, convection, and radiation.
Examples of heat transfer include boiling water on a stove, feeling the warmth of the sun, and using a radiator to heat a room.
Mass transfer can occur through diffusion, convection, and advection.
Examples of mass transfer include the dispersion of perfume in a room, the movement of pollutants in the atmosphere, and the absorption of nutrients by plant roots.

Accepted Answer

The transfer of heat by the movement of a mass or substance from one place to another is called convection

Accepted Answer

Conduction is the heat transfer analogue of diffusion in mass transfer. It is the heat transfer in a solid or a stationary fluid (gas or liquid) due to the random motion of its constituent atoms, molecules and /or electrons.
