Help in convention, radiation and conduction

[lynn0808]

is a turbine an example of convention? (because it is a fluid or gas)
are vents an example of radiation?
are heavy drapes an example of conduction?
are window tints an example of radiation? because it is a reflector of heat
are white tiles and paint an example of radiation?

Please don't start another thread to clarify your question, do it in the original thread.

I am afraid it is still not possible to answer you question. White tiles are not an example of radiation. Visible light or X-rays can be examples of radiation. Presence of white tiles can influence the way wall absorbs radiation.

Convention, radiation, and conduction are all methods of heat transfer. Convention is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two materials.

A turbine is an example of convention because it operates by using a fluid or gas to transfer energy. The fluid or gas is heated and expands, causing the blades of the turbine to rotate and generate power.

Vents are not an example of radiation, as they do not transfer heat through electromagnetic waves. They may aid in the transfer of heat through convection, as they allow for the movement of air.

Heavy drapes can be an example of conduction, as they can prevent heat from escaping through windows by providing insulation. However, they may also aid in the transfer of heat through convection, as they can trap pockets of warm air.

Window tints are not an example of radiation, as they do not transfer heat through electromagnetic waves. They may act as a reflector of heat, preventing it from entering a space through windows.

White tiles and paint can be an example of radiation, as they have a high albedo (reflectivity) and can reflect a significant amount of heat energy from the sun. This can help to keep a space cooler in hot weather. However, they may also aid in the transfer of heat through conduction, as they can absorb and release heat.
