Heat transfer may be referred to the transfer of themal energy from a region of higher

temperature to that of a lower one.

It occurs in nature by three means:

1. Conduction:- In this mode, heat gets transfer between two bodies that are in
actual contact .
You can understand it by a simple example :-

Suppose you are in your class and the professor in the class have a copy in his hand and he
wanted to pass that copy to the student sitting at the last so he decided to give the copy to
the one sitting in the front and then asked him to pass the copy at the back and repeated
the same until the copy reached to the last guy. This case is similar to the conduction here
the copy can be considered as heat and it is getting transferred with actual contact as
students are passing that to their back bench while touching to each other.
