Question 111Steam Plants - QMED70% to pass
Which of the following modes of heat transfer does NOT require any physical contact between a warmer and a cooler substance?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Radiation.
Radiation is the only mode of heat transfer that does not require physical contact between a warmer and a cooler substance. Heat is transferred through the emission and absorption of electromagnetic waves, without the need for a physical medium.
In contrast, conduction requires direct contact between the substances, and lamination is not a mode of heat transfer. All the other options (A, C, and D) are incorrect because they either do not accurately describe a mode of heat transfer or fail to capture the unique characteristic of radiation that distinguishes it from the other heat transfer mechanisms.
