  • Heat Transfer by Conduction: How Fast & Slow Particles Interact
    The type of transfer where fast particles collide with slower particles is called heat transfer by conduction.

    Here's why:

    * Conduction is the transfer of heat energy through direct contact between molecules.

    * When a fast-moving particle collides with a slower-moving particle, it transfers some of its kinetic energy to the slower particle. This makes the slower particle move faster, increasing its temperature.
