3. How to heat an object ? Physical possibilities: 1. Conduction 2. Convection 3. Radiation
4. Conduction Heat transfer is made through direct contact from the source to the object (receiver). E.g.: boiled eggs in hot water, coffee pot on a warming plate Source (s) Ts: high Receiver (r) Tr: rises
5. Convection Heat transfer is carried out via flow of liquid or gas, primary heated by a source. E.g. central domestic heating, household oven Tt: low Tt: low Tt: high Source (s) Ts: high Receiver (r) Tr: rises Transfert medium (t)
6. Radiation Heat transfer occurs via radiation emitted from source at high temperature. Surrounding objects in this area are absorbing the radiation. E.g. the sun, infrared lamps Source (s) Ts: high Receiver (r) Tr: rises

17. Comparison of short, medium, long wave emitters The more the source is hot, the more it emits in the short wavelength. When the colour temperature decreases, the maximum of emission moves towards longer wavelengths Low Medium High Color sensitivity Low Medium High Brightness Hardly not relevant Possible Good focusing recommended Focusing with reflectors Yes, very high Yes No Air draughts sensitivity Convection Radiation and convection Radiation Heating principle 800 K 1 300 K 2 450 K Color Temperature Long-wave Medium-wave Short-wave Infrared-waves
