Expect many enjoyable experiences! David M. Armstrong Expect many enjoyable experiences! David M. Armstrong ® 3 Heat Transfer Only occurs when there is a temperature difference Flows faster when this difference is higher Always flows from high to low temperature Is greater with greater surface area Some materials transfer heat better than others
