Transfer of thermal energy

Forms of heat transfer-

1. Conduction

Transfer of heat in one direction in solids

2. Convection

Cyclical motion of heat transfer in liquids and solids

3. Radiation

The transfer of energy to or from a body by means of the emission or absorption of electromagnetic radiation..

4.Induction 

Induction heating is the process of heating an electrically conducting object (usually a metal) by electromagnetic induction, where eddy currents (also called Foucault currents) are generated within the metal and resistance leads to Joule heating of the metal.
