A sealed glass container holds a horizontal metal plate suspended midway between the top and bottom. A heating element warms the metal plate uniformly. The container is filled with air at standard atmospheric pressure. After thermal equilibrium is reached, which statement best explains the dominant heat transfer mechanisms operating in different regions of the container?
A metal rod is heated at one end while the other end is held in place. Heat travels along the rod primarily by which mechanism?
Identify the scenario in which convection is the dominant mode of heat transfer.
