Heat transfer from a cold region to a hot region can be done by forcing the system (refrigerators, for example) to perform the energy transfer. Heat transfer is accomplished by three basic methods. Conduction Convection Radiation Figure 2. Convection Conduction Radiation Conduction is the most common means of heat transfer in a solid. On a microscopic scale, conduction occurs as hot, rapidly moving or vibrating atoms and molecules interacting with neighboring atoms and molecules, transferring some of their energy (heat) to these neighboring atoms. Radiation is the only form of heat transfer that can occur in the absence of any form of medium and as such, is the only means of heat transfer through a vacuum.
