Heat transfer is a physical process whereby thermal energy moves from one substance or object to another due to a temperature difference between them. This transfer can occur through three primary mechanisms: 1. **Conduction**: This is the transfer of heat through a material without any movement of the material itself. It occurs when two objects at different temperatures come into contact with each other. The heat moves from the hot region to the cold region through molecular collisions.
